Javascript works great when it comes to dynamic contents. We heavily use javascript
to download dynamic contents. However, when it comes a a browser or page reload,
then that's a different situation. We haven't found ways around the page reload when
it comes to contents. I'm not sure how you plan to use javascript to determine whether
an image has changed or not.
The only thing I can think of when it comes to page reloads is  if you a able to 
instruct
the browser to use cached images rather than download them again. Typically there
are some browser preferences that the user can specify, but I don't know if that's
available through scripting.

I haven't tried this, but am just throwing the idea out. What about the
possibility of using JavaScript includes to include the dynamic text? That way,
you wouldn't have to pragma-nocache the framework page with all of the
graphics, and the text that is included might be pulled from the server each
time the page is loaded (it should be fairly easy to test this theory).

I haven't worked much with JavaScript includes, opting instead for JSP
includes, so I'm not sure how it gets executed in cached pages. I doubt that it
creates anything like the equivalent of the Java servlets that are generated
when you access a JSP page (which prevents us from using JSP includes in this
instance).

Let me know if you decide to pursue this, and if it works!
