How does one force a gif file to reload every time a page is reloaded?
I tried these three in combination with no success:
<META http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<META http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Wed, 26 Feb 2000 08:21:57 GMT" />

It's a non-looping animation? You could serve it dynamically with a timestamp number as part of the name to make it unique each time. (myani20060801201435.gif)

Please explain ...
The gif repeats the same motions over and over.
That's a looping animation?
So, how can I force it to reload each time the page is loaded,
so it does not stall?

Does this happen with all browsers?

Hello,
I'm not sure.
With the Firefox I'm using, yes:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060719 Firefox/1.5.0.5
With Microsoft IE I use to test with, no.
I don't have any other browsers on my box.

i never heard of this problem before but you can try to reload the image src:
<body onload="document.picture.src='yourani.gif';">
does it work?

Hello,
Thanks.
Before I got your above post, I solved the problem of forcing a "no cache"
in Firefox by adding an extra head section at the end of the file:
</font></center></body><head><meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"></head></html>
