Using time() to add a unique string to the img src seems to work  
quite well, thanks!

I think I prefer this to the nocache solution which gets applied to  
all page elements.

This example will only prevent caching of the one image, so all other  
items on the page can be cached, which I don't mind.  Will help the  
page load faster, particularly beneficial for users on a slower  
connection.

Cheers,
