Hi Diego, thanks for your answer. Indeed my problem seems to be similar to that described in the articles you posted; however, there still seems to be a difference because the solutions didn't help. :( First I tried to add the "execCommand" to my code. The behavior changed to that effect that the "... items remaining" disappeared from the status line. Unfortunately, hand it still takes several seconds until all images are available and I still see in the server log that the image is requested 100 times. (Of course, the web server answers with a 304 response each time, but IE does not seem to evaluate this response.) I then tried to tweak my web server. I won't have this option in the real project because the web server belongs to the customer, but I at least wanted to see if that solved the problem. It didn't. :( Maybe it's important to point out that the problem does not occur when the page is initially loading, but only when I reload the page; however, Firefox doesn't have the problem even when I reload, and you know how users are: They *will* try to reload the page and will then complain that it takes some time. I think I will redesign my whole application. The idea was to dynamically create a table from AJAX/XML content and add edit and delete links to each row. Since this doesn't seem to work because of IE's nice features I will probably choose the classic way and create the table directly in HTML.
