More broadcast.jpg stuff

[slantt]

I'm building a web page containing some header info and I'm putting the broadcast.jpg and the vws007.jpg into it.  I'm using a very simple html writeup and I'm using vws's htx to htm conversion.  I've got all my timers set to upload everything on a five minute schedule. 

Well - vws007.jpg shows the current info on the web page.  Broadcast.jpg shows info from some time ago.  I've done a search on my c drive and I only have the broadcast that's in my vws\root directory.  The root directory on my web site contains the correct, i.e., updated broadcast.  I refresh the site page but while vws007 cycles, broadcast doesn't - it just shows the same info from some time ago. 

Is there a cache or buffer pool some place for wayward broadcast.jpgs? 

My html for the jpgs is: <p> <img src="broadcast.jpg">  <img src="vws007"> </p>

Jim,

It almost has to be a setting that you are missing somewhere in VWS. Check and double-check to make certain you are pointing to the correct folder and filename. Any little typo can kill you and may be extremely difficult to find. Also, looking at the sample html you gave, the vws007 file won't display unless it is actually named vws007. You don't have an extension for the file named in the img src tag you are showing.

Do you have a website we can look at? Someone on the forum might see something that may help if we can look at the webpage itself.

Thanks for your reply. 

Now, even vws007.jpg doesn't get updated.  The missing file type on vws007 was a typo based on my refusal to take the typing class..
I'm doing an inspection of all my VWS settings as we speak.

My web page is www.185talltimbers.info. 

Any words of wisdom are appreciated.

A question first, what is VWS007? I'm apparently not using it. I ended up recreating the broadcast jpg so I control what it displays, a bit of a job, but it works.

vws007 is the VWS jpg that displays outside temp hi-lo-current.  I've gotten the display to change periodically by applying a java script to my html.  It refreshes the images every 30 seconds.  Apparently I had been picking up a cached image.  The script forces the browser to get a new image from the server instead of the cache.   Take a look at www.185talltimbers.info/tester-java.  The html/java source can be viewed by clicking 'view' in the toolbar and then clicking 'page source' in then pull down menu.

Ah, I'm not using that one, but I do use a "gauge" and a "tank" in different areas which register the same info. I'm set to update the db every 15 min and that's when the jpg's are updated. When you look at the broadcast on the console it is updated every minute or even more often, but all the other jpg's are only updated when the db is updated. I keep all my jpg's in the Root folder and that's where they are FTP'd from at 10 seconds after the 15 minute update cycle, so when I'm tinkering I have to go into Settings menu, down to JPG File Settings and hit "Update", then they're current.
