Does anyone know if you can code html to first look on the users hd for example.... an image. I know IE supposedly does this by looking in the cache first, and then if not found d/l it. I'm trying to do something similiar.

Let me try to explain:

(<a href="http://www.vbworld.com/"><img src="/images/home_off.gif" width="57" height="22" border="0"></a> )

Can I take the above html code and modify it so the first place it looks for the image home_off.gif would be a folder on the users hard drive. Then if it wasn't found there it would d/l it from the appropriate url. In other words have an option for the image location.

What I'm trying to do is combine a webbrowser that I'm working on with a particular site. When the browser navigates to the site and the page is d/l...instead of having to d/l all the images for a particular page, it would get the images from a folder on the hard drive. I get the feeling this won't work, but I'd thought I'd ask
