HTMLOSD: *Thank you Ron* and one question

[reiner]

Hello,

At first I want to say 'Thank you Ron' for the HTMLOSD Plugin. Just 4 weeks ago, I started to switch my OSDMenu stuff to HTMLOSD, because you have more possibilities there. And it's incredible. You can now use all that Browser stuff like CSS-Stylesheets, Javascript, png-files with opacity, DOM-Methods, DHTML and so on. It' a great plugin. :P

And now my question : When I load an external File like file1.png via the <img> tag in html, the HTMLOSD displays it without any problem. Than I'm gonna to change that external file, but the name stays the same like file1.png. After that, I reload this html-page within girder. But the plugin 'remembers' the old content of that file. :x
I only get the new content when I close girder and start it again. It tested this also directly with a browser ( Mozilla 1.2 ) and it's the same problem there. So it could be that this is more Mozilla-related as Girder-related. But perhaps anyone could help me.

Is there a way to clear this internal cache of the mozilla-engine ?

It indeed is the cache that is doing this. I think you can switch it off when you open the full mozilla and select the mozillacontrol profile. Start searching in that direction. If you can't find it report back.

Hello,

I did a lot of testing around the MozillaControl Profile and Cache-Deleting.
When I load my HTML-Page in Original-Mozilla and change the content of
the image, I can tell Mozilla to clear the RAM-Cache/Disk-Cache and I get the new image-content afer pushing Reload.

This is what I wanted to have also in Girder-HTMLOSD.

So I leave Original-Mozilla running, because when you start Girder first and after that you start Original-Mozilla with Control-Profile, you get an error-message, because the profile is already used ( by Girder ).
Like I said, I left Original-Mozilla running and started Girder after that.
All of the HTMLOSD Pages were correct on the screen, but Cache Deleting didn't worked in Girder. It worked directly in Original-Mozilla with Control-Profile, but the cache in Girder stayed the same and was not deleted. :cry:

Any ideas for a possible solution ?

Try to find the prefs.js file for the Mozilla ActiveX control if you enter this in there:



pref&#40;"browser.cache.enable", false&#41;; // see also network.http.use-cache
pref&#40;"browser.cache.disk.enable", false&#41;;
pref&#40;"browser.cache.memory.enable", false&#41;;
// 0 = once-per-session, 1 = each-time, 2 = never, 3 = when-appropriate/automatically
pref&#40;"browser.cache.check_doc_frequency", 1&#41;;
pref&#40;"network.http.use-cache", false&#41;;
