Mozilla - Large, ASP.NET-Produced Image Not Always Loading?

Asked by DaBretty in Mozilla Web Browser, Programming for ASP.NET

All -

I'm having a strange issue with an ASP.NET-produced application I've made, which includes a tad bit of Javascript for frame loading/refreshing.

Essentially, I've built a big custom graphing control, with 4 vertical frames.  The leftmost frame is a select box containing channels of data.  The other three frames make up the components of the chart - the scale is one, the actual plot is next, and finally the legend.  These three frames are all .png files that I'm producing via ASP.NET's system.drawing.  The plot image is actually very wide (10,000 pixels), hence the reason for the frames - so that I can horizontally scroll that frame yet still have the scale and legend alongside of it.

It works fine in IE, and is actually quite snappy.  The big image file really only comes to about 700 kb or so, and it seems like half of the delay is probably just in creating the image on the server.

When I attempt to view it in Mozilla on a Solaris machine, however, it seems that it only loads the plot image half or less of the time.  In fact, it behaves as if there's an image there (I can horizontally scroll that frame) but instead it is completely blank (white).  The other images in the other frames (scale, legend) load fine and consistently.

Being unfamiliar with Mozilla myself, does this sound like some sort of weird cache issue to anyone?  I have the cache on the default size (50 MB) and the settings to in effect re-load the page each time it's opened.  But a completely blank image, is this just operating at a full cache or something, with Mozilla not clearing out the space soon enough?
