Article PS070307161 HOWTO: Force image refresh Problem Summary A page containing an image with a fixed name such as <IMG SRC="images/photo.jpg"> is usually displayed with a cached version of photo.jpg even after a new image under the same name is uploaded to the server. This article offers a simple trick to force an image refresh. Solution To force an image refresh, the SRC attribute of the <IMG> needs to assume a new and unique value with every page refresh. Since the image name is fixed, the changing part should be appended to the filename with the ? character used as a delimiter. In VBScript, the Rnd and Randomize functions can be used to ensure uniqueness, for example: <% ... Randomize %> <IMG SRC="images/photo.jpg?<% = Rnd %>"> Created: 3/7/2007 6:30:41 PM Last Modified: 3/7/2007 6:30:41 PM Copyright © Persits Software, Inc. 1998 - 2018 For technical support, write to support@persits.com.
