Continuing WebCam Saga

A while back, I got some help from the list with a WebCam page I was working
on. The trouble was getting a Java applet to work correctly while using
strict XHTML 1.1-compliant code. The applet was used to display images
captured by a WebCam.

I never could get the applet to work quite the way I wanted, so I've revered
to the old-fashioned way of doing things; using the "refresh" tag.

Problem is, things aren't refreshing quite right.

Here's the URL:

http://www.taylor.k12.fl.us/district/webcams/noc

The page should refresh every 15 seconds. It appears to do so, but the image
never changes on my screen--even though I know the image behind the scenes
is being updated every 15 seconds. I can force a refresh using IE 6's
"Refresh" button, and the updated image will appear. But on its own, it
won't.

Any ideas what may be going on here? The browser seems to think that nothing
has changed, so it's using a cached copy of the image. I've tried all the
tricks I know, including these two tags:

<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="thu, 16 DEC 1999 00:04:00 PST" />

I'm open to other suggestions...
