Re: how to force browser not to cache image

Art,
No, you're right about the situation when your browsers cache SETTINGS
are zeroed. I misread your post to mean the situation when the cache
had just been emptied. Sorry.

However, when a  HTML file is CHACHED, the Meta information is still
there. Meta can't tell your machine what to do, but it can give your
browser information about the page and the browser may act on that
information if it is capable.

You're telling me that even though I set my browser's cache to zero K,
you can come in to my computer via the internet and the page you have
authored and through the use of a META tag of some sort you can put
stuff into the zeroed cache on my computer.
