I usually do the following:



1. Put this line in the document header:




2. Get Javascript to load the picture for you
and tag a random number onto the end. So...
in the document header...



rnd1 = Math.round(Math.random(10000));

function loadpic()
{
document.images.pic.src='camera_pic.html?rr=' + rnd1;
}




Then...
