[thelist] annoying browser cache...

[John Corry]

There's no hope...except to rename the images and upload them as 'new'
files...but thats beyond what I'm willing to do for this piece of shit
client.

Sorry...I'm as frustrated as I ever get with HTML...and its my birthday of
all days...geez!

The core problem is that the images are part of a MM Timeline image swap
thing...where every 3 seconds or so the images change. It works alright, but
*one* of the images in the sequence is an OLD one...and its obvious when it
pops up because elements in that image don'e line up with teh surrounding
<td> contents.

And there's nothing I can do but *wait* until proxies, browsers and servers
decide to cooperate! ACK!

If you have a minute (and a FAST connection...this is NOT a dial-up kind of
site), visit the URL and see if its messed up for you too...

The image in question is the one with the text in it that reads like a
statistic from a trade publication.

thanks,

Its tempting to design really cool looking stuff, with the idea that you'll
use your HTML super-skills to translate it into a web page later. DONT DO
IT!!! Web design is design for the web and it has to be planned for the web
from teh very beginning. With this site, I followed the clients whimsy down
the road to hell...and wound up with a site that is so utterly complex that
I can't even work on it without breaking something...

Keep it simple...you'll thank yourself!
