Image object problem

[Kevin Stone]

Hi,

I currently have a piece of JavaScript which swaps the on-screen image
between two different versions, and I use:

document.images.src = something

and change the src each time. However, every time the script does the change
it goes to the internet to get the new image, even though it's had it
previously. This isn't ideal as the src change will be called tens of
thousands of times a day.

Any suggestions? Ideally I need two image objects which load once and then I
swap the screen image for one of these. But I don't know JavaScript well
enough.

TIA

Are you seeing this in IE? If so, google for "IE image cache bug"

It is in my local IE, which I've changed the default cache, which seems to
explain it for me. And most other people won't have changed the defaulrt IE
setting I don't think it's a problem.
