Sam:
Why are you doing this? To bust the proxy cache? Just add random strings
to the URL of your site using ASP.
I don't really understand enough about your request here to be helpful.
There are lots of reasons to do what you're doing, but I totally don't
understand your use case.

I'm trying to work with a customer who (I believe) has a proxy that is
seriously affecting page load times. I could timestamp the page load
time if I had an OnLoad JavaScript that would just touch an ASP file back on
my server. If anyone has just a JavaScript, please help me out.
Another approach may be easier to code it without JavaScript, using HTML
only -- like this...
<img src="mytimestamp.asp" height="1" width="1"> </body> </html>
But:
- this will introduce a 1 pixel layout element. (Is there some other way
to do this without using <img> ?)
- It is not guaranteed to load after all the other page elements (I think
the OnLoad event waits for every element to load?)
Any thoughts? JavaScripts? Elements other that <img>? Better approaches?
