Is it an HTML, CSS, Browser or just old computer Issue?

Some of my IMG tags are not producing images on older computers

I am having a few issues with a website I recently completed or am in the process of.

On my machine and every other machine I have access to (4 computers as home, 2 at a friends, 40+ at work) I am able to view the website just fine, as I intended. Every browser, every OS. But of course NOT on my clients, no no. Even though they are using the same browser and OS as one of the laptops at my house, their view renders the site horribly. They already expressed to me that they wanted it updated as far as speed and graphics, however until a project is done, updating it will not be priority. Even after I update it for them after the project, I don't want any of this being an issue for other viewers, possible clients for them or myself.

one of the bigger issues is not having some of the images show up.

except the obvious, this is a tag copied directly from the site and that is one of the images imparticular that isnt showing.

img src="'fullpathhere'/img/ropeheadhold.jpg" alt="Proven Sire" width="385" height="260" style="float: left; padding: 10px;"

I have googled about everything I can think of, padding issues for CSS, float issues, width and height, even the alt tag, just to see if there is something that doesn't like to show images in older computers.

Anyone out there see anything that would make this not show up? When I got to view the site on my clients machine for about 4 minutes before their dial up was cut off, I did notice that it was floated images for the most part that did not show up, however a couple did. *scratches head*

They are using IE 6.0 with Windows 2000 btw.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I usually do not inclued the entire path for images, but as they were not showing up I added them to see if it would help. I did not.

Please disregard. I believe I have the wrong DOC Type and that will fix it. Silly me, that'll learn me to let dreamweaver decide for me.

Well the wrong doctype **shouldn't** stop images from showing up. However since your element is floated, and possibly floated within or near other floats, you could be experiencing the peekaboo bug, which you *will* find lots of results for. If it doesn't work let us know . . . and welcome aboard.

To see if the browser is truly not "finding" the image, try this
