problems with images

[Navu]

hi
i have written a code in javascript and this code create lots of images
at run time.
Whenever page loads all these images get downloaded as 90% of images
are same
So is there any way so that the images doesnt get dowloaded every time
rather if page load has 300 images then only distinct images get
downloaded all other are getting displayed by taking images from cache.
pls suggest me solution as early as possible..

You don't need to do anything as it's part of browser caching
mechanics. If you have a picture located say at
http://www.myserver.com/images/image001.jpg then such image will be
loaded only once and next time will be taken from cache.
I'm talking of course about average standard conditions (browser
caching is not disabled, it's a static image and not a server generated
with randomized URL, and not this... and not that... and too long to
list and irrelevant to the common case).

Even the src of images is same
even then if i will refresh the page then it will download every image.
