Linked images not displaying in IE, but OK in Opera, FireFox

I'm using Geocities Builder

Hey Can someone please post a response here to tell me what to do:

<Sorry, no personal URLs.

ever since I started using Mozilla Firefox to edit in Geocities builder, instead of Windows IE, The link images wont show when trying to view the site in Windows IE. They are fine when looking at it in Mozilla Firefox.

I tried going in to edit in Geocities builder using Windows IE, and tried copying and pasting the whole scipt (mimicing the edit in Windows IE). Tried an Alt command in the IMG SRC tags, and reduced 99% of all the Java that was in the script. Nothing seems to work.

This is a humanitarian site. Clients and end users alike cannot utilize the image links to get to the rest of the site. Thank you in advance for a timely response.

Welcome to the forums, onyximage.

Your description sounds quite odd - the images themselves not showing. You can count on something - if the path to the image is correct, and the mark-up is valid (Not likely I guess with the Geocities builder, but it should handle image tags OK), then both Opera and IE will render the image on screen.

We're probably going to need an example of one of the image tags from your HTML. Just change your domain name to example.com if it appears in that section of the code.

One other thought occurs to me. Since you recently switched browsers, you may still be seeing the images from your IE cache instead of "live" from the server itself. Have you checked this by clearing your Internet History in IE?

Hi Tedster you had asked to see an example of the image tags and here it is (if this forum will show the addy at the top or it):

<A HREF="example.com/path/to/page.html"
<IMG SRC="example.jpg">
</A>

well I don't know if this will tell you anything. Or pehaps with the addy listed above you would be able to look at all of the source. Thanks for your help.

Try fixing this (the problem is marked in red)

<A HREF="example.com/path/to/parks.html">
<IMG SRC="example.jpg">
</A>

It is always a good practice to use the full URL link and to use the ALT tag for an image:

<A HREF="http://www.example.com/path/to/parks.html">
<IMG SRC="example.jpg" ALT="Example Picture">
</A>
