Tittel: AJAX: HTML reloads but images do not refresh
Skrevet av: ATC på 02. April 2009, 21:19 pm

When refreshing or updating part of a web page using AJAX (or similar techniques) some browsers will use cached images without checking for updates, even if the HTTP header indicates the image has expired.

Add the current unixtime to the image file name like so:


The web server will interpret this as an encoded parameter and thrown it away when serving images. (If you are using parameters for your images, then I assume you know what you're doing. Maybe you're using an auto-thumbnailer or something)

Anyway, each HTML update will contain a slightly different image URL. defeating the (flawed) browser cache mechanism and cause the image to reload properly.
