caching CSS bg images

[Andrew Poulos]

The site I'm working on uses the same CSS background images for a number
of DIVs across most of the site. Unfortunately IE doesn't cache them.

From my reading of MSDN it seems this this is 'by design'. Is there some
way to code around this. That is, a way to force IE to create/use a
cached version?

"It's not a bug, it's a feature!"

How do you get the idea here? (URL?)

I do not know any with client-side scripting (that is what you asked for).
If IE does not cache a resource, it does not cache a resource. Period.
