Try pressing Ctrl+F5 to refresh if you're using Windows. If that doesn't work, or you're using a Mac, try clearing your browser's cache and trying again. It's probably just that your browser is caching the image. Pressing Ctrl+F5 will reload and also clear your cache.

Hi Daniel

Can you pls provide me the code your working with, because most of the time this error is due to the image path you're trying to give through img tag.

After clearing my cached data the image refreshed once, then when I tried refreshing the webpage the image remained the same. I had to clear my cache every time I wanted to see a new image. Any ideas?

I had the same issue as Daniel and pressed Ctrl+F5 and it worked as well. What I was wondering though, is if users would have to press Ctrl+F5 on their browsers as well if we were to use this code on our page?

Hi, Kevin! Yes, I think they would — though I may be wrong. The image would eventually change when their browser periodically refreshed its cache. At least, that's my understanding.
