Some images of the products in the shopping cart dont appear in IE 7 but appear normal in Firefox.

Could it be a bug or some coding issues.

My websites run in Windows 2003 /IIS 6

PLease help

I have had multiple instances of images not displaying in IE7 on local machines - yet displaying perfectly fine 'live'. Have yet to find an answer or even a trail of clues to sort out the issue. Thankfully, they display on live sites in IE7 without issue. Have had no 'live' problems.

Hi there dukelips,

one possibility is that you have JPEG images that are saved in CMYK instead of RGB format.

IE will not render render them in that format.

I that is the problem, then use your image editor to change the format.

dukelips , keep in mind that Firefox and ie has different ways of handling case sensitivity (even on windows hosting)- that applies both to the file name and the extension.

Just to add to that I have been caught out several times by graphics software saving a .JPG instead of .jpg

Have you tried viewing just the image in the browser? If still no joy then I would have said it must be some kind of image type/encoding issue as birdbrain suggests.

I'm unsure how IIS (I won't touch that with a flagpole) does mime-types, but it might be that that's the reason. Your browser should get the right mime type from the server along with the files.
a jpg file should be server as image/jpeg
a gif file as image/gif
and a png as image/png

The official registry of mime type is at [iana.org...] . Don't expect a ready to be used list there, an easy to use list can be found in e.g. an apache distribution, and your IIS should have it somewhere somehow too.
