Is it possible to use Javascript to force an image to download instead of loading from cache?

Specifically, I want to have a rotating image selection (kinda like a slideshow) and instead of preloading everything, I want each image to be forced to download, even if it's already in cache. (Yes, there is a reason for forcing download, even though that concept is contrary to usual need. :D ) But I don't want to have to reload the page every few seconds to do a cycle. Is this possible?

Thanks, I'll try that!! Never thought of adding a query string to the end of an image
