[Javascript] For the birds

[Andrew Ip]

Hi Tedd,

I got bit by a similar bug earlier this year.  What's the cache  
setting in Internet Explorer?  IE has a bug such that if you set the  
cache setting to "Every visit to the page," IE will try to reload  
every image file for every image element that you add to a web page  
via JavaScript.  If you change the cache settings to something else,  
you'll probably find that the problem no longer occurs.

For more information on this weird IE behaviour, refer to the  
following website:

Hope that helps,
Andrew
