IE vs Mozilla

very strange results

[experienced]

I have been running a site since couple of years but since 10 days my site home page is not showing any image most of the time i request to open in IE6 and 7, at the same time is works fine on mozilla. I tried this on many machines but it keeps doing the same thing. But when in IE, i try top open any inner page all images comes properly and when i come back to the home page, i can see the images back. It is then only when i tried top open site directly from the home page. It comes without even a single image. it Looks like a no image on the page we have.. what cud be the issue.

Have you done anything to the site recently that may have caused this? If not, have you installed a Windows update on those machines recently?

Have you tried deleting your temporary internet files?

It sound like a good guess that www.example.com is cached without images but www.example.com/index.html is cached with them BUT the OP says that it happens on multiple machines.

It really does sound as if www.example.com is not taking you to the same page as an internal link within the site. I can't see why it should create different results in FF and IE but check if you have both an index.htm and an index.html.

Also try entering the full address of the home page in the address bar in IE and see if that gives a different result to just using the URL.

Has any software on the web server itself been updated recently?! Change in Content-Type returned?

What if you refresh (F5) the home page? Or Ctrl+F5 (force download)?

Hhhhmmm, I'm sure there has been a similar thread on this topic recently, but I can't seem to find it....? (Images in links, files served locally...?)

Perhaps some .htaccess code that is supposed to prevent hot linking to images, that doesn't work correctly in your situation?

Could be some Internet security software (or ad-blocker) on your computer that only integrates with IE.
