page gone mad !

i've built a page that just wants to keep loading.

hmmm, i've just put 8 similiar static pages together. identical except for the title,metas, the actual images and the price, i built them from a template and database, so all other elements should be identical.

each shows 24 pictures of products and a logo = total 25 images. the total size of each page is about 100k.

here's the rub (madness) for 7 pages they all work fine, but the eighth ... it downloads fine in IE

...but when i tested on opera the page shows but opera thinks there is another image to download, one the panel that shows number of images it reads 26 and it is downloading bandwidth like crazy, i let it run up to 1meg downloaded and it just wanted to keep going.

ok first i though it a bug in opera and that it was just showing this in error, but i have a meter which shows the bandwidth i'm downloading and sure enough something is being downloaded,
i also tried in mozilla same problem.
i've emptied the cache and restarted both applications and it keeps happening.

i've searched the code and there are only 25 instances of the string img

any ideas?

i'd rather not post the url but if someone would be kind enough to check it out i'd sticky mail them, even if just to discover if its just a local glitch here rather than anything else.

click_watcher,

Sticky mail me with the URL. I'd be glad to check this out for you.

thanks, have sent you mail.

For those of you playing along at home, the culprit here seems to have been a corrupted JPG file with over 4 MB of "nothing at all" added after the actual image data.

All the browsers displayed the complete image as soon as the 5kb of relevant data was received, but then they continued to download the rest of the completely empty bytes that the file had somehow accrued!

well that did the trick, deleted the image file on the server and re-upped from my local site.

the local image (which was originally upped along with 200 others at the same time ... all of which were ok) was 4.4k so it must have got corrupted on the server.

thanks again for your help tedster.
