Why won't my images cache in browser?

P

Paul W

Hi - using IE for testing purposes. My rendered HTML is shown below. Seems
simple enough but the browser goes to the server each time it needs to show
an image - even though I try to pre-cache them. I don't get any Javascript
errors.

Thanks,

Paul.

Review your IE settings for Temp. Internet Files. Also unless you use Absolute URLs to all images,
they will not be reused from cached unless called from the same level within the web.

Thanks for the response. To clarify: I'm actually talking about a single
viewing of a single page. The page has a calendar that allows you to select
multiple dates. Each date you click is indicated by an image ("bgball.bmp")
appearing over that date. However, each and every time I click a date, I see
that the browser goes to the server for the image - very annoying!

If you care to see the problem, go to www.mystictennisbookings.com and click
on 'visitor'.

Thanks,

Paul.

This could be a .net issue.

Tom:

Are you *CERTAIN* about this?

I have an image named foo.gif. It seems to me that no matter where on my
site I link to that image, it's pulled from the cache. As far as I can
determine, the path information is not stored in the cache.

I just tested our web sites, and have a logo I use on different sites and
different levels of folders, but with the same name.

Searching for it only brings up one instance in the cache.

Yes, I was very certain about this, however I see that IE6 (SP2) has changed the way it caches
images.

In the past I would see something like the following:

blank.gif
blank(1).gif
blank(2).gif

etc. as you moved between different level in the same site unless a Absolute URL was use to the
image. IE6 (SP2) now stores the reference as a Absolute URL.

IE6 (SP2) still create two cache images for the same file if the path is specified using a different
CaSe of the file or folder name in your HTML code.

Example:

images/Pages/blank.gif
images/pages/blank.gif
