Calling my image and then assigning a random string as a query string didn't really help.. I don't know if I did it correctly or misunderstood the logic you were implying. What I did made my image look like verify.png?839838ksh8 ... But that didn't really make IE display the fresh image.. It still displayed the old image from cache, only the Query string was a unique random string each time. However, your theory gave me another idea which works for now! Instead of defining the image name as verify.png.. I have defined the image name to be the random string. Each time the page opens.. A new image is created with a new image name... Thus IE cannot display the old image from it's cache because the image name's differ. The con of this method is that every time someone accesses this page, a new image will be created and stored in the folder, taking up byte space. I'll definitely run up a script to erase images a day old though. For now this works.. I don't know if it's the best way to do this, but considering nothing regarding the Cache was working, I don't mind doing this for now, at least the application is working. If I had misunderstood your method and you think your method is better then what I'm using now, I'd still really appreciate if you can clarify and explain. Thanks again, Rahul S.
