Site looks fine on my computer - images missing on others

I've created a website using a frame which looks fine in my browser. When I uploaded the files to the net some of the images and animation doesn't load and it looks differently on other computers. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Check over your code, and see if any of the files have been linked directly to your harddrive.... if so, that is why they may be loading only on your computer.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld donette_2
You said that some files hadn't shown? that presumably means that some image files did. In your code, check the location of a file that did load ok, against one that didn't. You may as has been said, have some files linked locally.

some software like ad blocking software or norton firewall will block images based on size. Maybe they are running that?

What other browsers don't they work on? For example, if you have an image named
myimage
which is a .jpg but doesn't have the .jpg extension then it will (in my experience) show up fine in IE but not in Netscape. So you might check that sort of thing also.

FrontPage is infamous for creating images that being pulled from your own hard drive - so I bet that's the problem, as PatrickKerby suggested.

Just view source on your code and look for URLs to your images like:

file:\\c:\

Check this : on your computer the image name may be like this : "image.JPG" and the link to it is href="image.jpg" (so normal and capital letters for extension).
On a windows computer it works fine, he doesn't make any difference between JPG and jpg but the server will be LINUX and he does make a difference so he will not find image.jpg because he only has image.JPG

Yeah ..if you are on linux check all your names ..linux is "case dependant" ..

If you have made IMAGE.jpeg on your machine ( but actually linked in your page to image.jpeg ).doze will find it ...linux won't ..( one letter at the wrong "size" will make this happen ) ..also check for inadvertant spaces left in file names at the beginning or end of names .. ( Been here ...done this )...PAIN

It looks for IMAGE.jpeg ..can't find it ..and shows a hole in your page ..same for any file type ...

If you are checking your site ..don't forget to "clear cache" in your browser ( whichever one you use ) ..or else you think you have a working site ..while the world sees all the weird links ;)
