Question > why random image.asp does not work for FF browser
Problem > the second random image can not be load for FireFox

several images file

a-image.gif
b-image.gif
c-image.gif
d-image.gif

<img src="random-image.asp" >

IE works but FF only can display the first load x-image.gif (x can be a, b ,c or d)

after reload FF, it still display same image <--- why
after reload IE, image can be changed randomly

Thanks

 

It's caching my brotha...

A trick you can use is append a querystring onto the image load. It doesn't have to do anything - it just have to be a different imgae every time.

So <img src="random-image.asp" > would become:

<img src="random-image.asp?randid=1039204" >

then

<img src="random-image.asp?randid=9596823" >

This should clear up the caching issuebecause browsers see it is a different image - this trick works with xml as well

 

thanks ccoonen,

it is a nice way to do the random image.
------------------------------------------------

however
i have seen php site use
<img src="random-image.php" > without "?="
and it is running normal for FF and IE

So please more helps
is there any other way do
<img src="random-image.asp" > for FF ?

Thanks,

 

try to disable the cache for your site or that specific page, in this case it would be "random-image.asp"

use the HTML codes, or ASP headers to do it

but the best solution for it ccoonen already provided to you

I think this page might help you out to get a clue on it

Thanks for the response,

My biggest problem is
how to put the random image to my friend's site?

how do I control randid ?
can I still have the full control to disable my friend's browser caching ?

I need to put a random image to http: // my friend's site .com
<img src="http: //my site .com /random-image.asp" >

is there any other way?

thanks

 

did you try disableing cache as I proposed?

 

not working for me

I did try
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">

I place the meta to the "random-image.asp"

I also ask my friend add the meta.

tried both but all not working.

I have seen some php sites running very good.
could php have more in control ?

 

Thanks,
I got PHP code from a programmer Nico_swd (you can find at php forum)
It works.

But could some one
Please help me to make the php code become asp code.

Thank you.
