reload picture

[Bryan Tuffin]

Is there any way to reload a picture into the cache using javascript without refreshing the entire page.

[Scriptage]

<img src="image.jpg" name="the_image" onClick="update(this.name)">
<script>
function update(name){
document.images[name].src=document.images[name].src;
}
</script>

This will reload the picture when it is clicked.

Basically the name of the image is passed to the function update, the image that was passed to update is then updated.

This will load an image. If it is already in cache, it will only get it from the cache. I don't know of a way to force an image to refresh.

<script>
var tmp = new Image();
tmp.src = "someimage.gif";
</script>
