AJAX

I tried implementing an AJAX call to retrieve the URL for a random photo to be displayed in a static html page.

A List Apart had a good article to get me started.
Getting Started with AJAX

Ran into a problem where IE implementation of XMLHttpRequest ActiveX Object automatically caches all GET requests. This wikipedia article about XMLHttp gave a workaround by inserting a dummy random parameter in the URL.
