Need help from smart people.

boombatower · #1 08-10-2004, 07:11 PM

I have been working on a site and just now have tried viewing it in IE and one of the images does not come in when viewing in IE. When I look at it in any other browser it looks fine. Is this another one of Microsoft's problems or what?

I even downloaded the newest version on IE and it still does not show up. I have tries saving it in multiple formats, and still it does not show up. This is very frustrating.

Does anyone have any help they can give?

The file extension may not correspond to the image type. Perhaps you can fool other browsers, but not IE.

If you take a gif file and simply rename it with the extension jpg this won't make it a jpg type of file. At times, when you use Save as you may make the mistake and save it with the wrong extension.

However you should give provide the concrete example if you expect any of the smart people to help.

That is not the problem because I use an Advanced Image Editor the GIMP to creat my images. I save them as its native format, and the export them (re-save) as a new format. I resaved the image as a jpg not just renamed it.

Also I have other images on the page done the same way and they show up and look great.

So that is not the problem, but thanks for repling. This is very frustrating.

are both width and height image dimensions in the img src tag. i was working on a page earlier today, and one image of many on the page would not show up because i included the height and not the width.

it is kinda strange, as i find IE to be more intuitive than most other browsers.

also, ensure that the folder the images are in is included in the code.
Ex: img src="images/filename.jpg"

it may also have to do with your layout. you could double check your table tags to make sure they work out right.

You're not seriously thinking anybody will actually test this code of yours? With all the cookies it creates?

Your problem concerns a jpg file according to your post. I don't even see one in your code.

boombatower · #8 08-11-2004, 05:41 PM

Their is a PNG image that it is trying to load. My client does not want everyone looking at this site if you don't like the cookie code DELETE it I mean BIG DEAL.

The problem is with just the code I don't have access to the images since the links are relative. Could you just host this edited code on a different server or get the images to me?

boombatower · #10 08-11-2004, 10:09 PM

I hosted the front page on another server. The URL address is: http://i3.domaindlx.com/wwwsitecreat...als/index.html.

Note this is not the complete site, and their is no menu as there is on the final version.

Remember: the picture is only missing in IE.
