.gif and .jpg images are being placed on pages as banners and provide links to other pages or to external sites. A preview on the local PC and all is well. FTP the pages and images to the server, call the page and look ma... no images. Nothing shows... just a blank space where the image should be.
I've created a fresh test page and put the images on them without any hyperlinking.... same result, the browser simply will not see the images. And yet the same site has other images that display and link without a problem so it is inconsistent.
I suspect it may be specific to this one host as this is the only site I have with with this host (Unix and Apache) All other sites involving hundreds of pages and hosted elsewhere perform without any problem.
I have a virtual 6 six pack as a thank-you for the person who can help me solve this.... and no, moving to another server doesn't count.
Also, don't forget to clear your cache and refresh the page you're trying to view. Just in case. It doesn't seem likely that this is the issue since you're not seeing any pictures at all.
<added>Oh, and one more thing, if you're using I.E., don't forget that it has the "undocumented feature" of making images disappear if the same one appears many times on the same page. You didn't mention how many pictures were on the page or if its the same one repeating so I just thought I'd throw that out there.</added>
Creative_Craig will be on this one like a shot! :P
I dont know much about this stuff, but the first thing I would do would be to right click the red x's on the live page to check the directory path and then make sure the images are actually in that location.
After I did that I would post a message on WW and ask someone that knows about this stuff..... :I

Its not just a case of a bad path where the image location shows as an outline and red x.... thats too simple.
No, this baby shows absolutely nothing. Just an empty white space.

Check the html code in Dreamweaver, FrontPage, Notepad etc and you see:
<td bgcolor="#C4D6C0" align="center"><a href="target.htm"> <img border="0" src="qld/banners/image.gif" width="125" height="120"></a>
But open the page in the browser, view code and the <img> tag is missing. This is what you see:
<td bgcolor="#C4D6C0" align="center"><a href="target.htm"> </a></td>
Any suggestions?.. I can sticky the details if anyone is able to take a look.
The reward has been increased to a virtual six pack of Darwin stubbies.... hope that does not get me kicked off for breach of TOS!
The browser did not like the folder containing the images. When they were placed in a folder with a different name, everything worked just fine.
I have not the foggiest idea why that should be... but there you go. From now on I will never again call a folder by the name of "banners".
You wouldn't by any chance be running an ad blocker in that browser?
