preventing facebook from caching images in static fbml tab application

869 views Asked by At

I have a static FBML application. In the application, I have an image tag that points to am ImageGenerator web service that provides different images randomly.

I noticed though Facebook was caching the image in the src tag. How do I update this on tab load so that it forces FB to retrieve the new image?

I heard something about fb:ref, but I am not sure how to do this programatically in a static FBML application.

I thing these two links have a wide discussion on your problem related stuff. fb:ref clear cashes by calling

fbml.refreshRefUrl
like this

<tt>fbml.refreshRefUrl("http://www.mysite.com/someurl.php")</tt>

You can study the related stuff from here fb:ref. I hope it will work for you
