Hi, It's most likely the browser caching the image, are you getting the image in a normal http request? over and over again? ex: http://www.mysite.com/image.jpg if so, just add a random number (a timestamp works fine) to the end of the url ex: http://www.mysite.com/image.jpg?12343545 This way the browser thinks it's a different image and will reload it. -steve
