Any ideas?

Image in question: focus_sm.gif

Here's the source code:

<table><tr>
<TD HEIGHT="15"><P><FONT FACE="Geneva, Verdana"
SIZE="2"><IMG SRC="images/focus_sm.gif"><br><FONT
SIZE="1">
<B>A GUIDE TO THE FILM, TELEVISION, COMMERCIAL AND
MUSIC VIDEO PRODUCTION INDUSTRIES IN TORONTO,
SOTHERN ONTARIO AND ONTARIO REGIONS</B>.</font> <BR>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE="2"> This site is all about film and television
production
and the companies and individuals that drive this industry. From
producers to
craft service, camera ops to colourists, Ontario has major league
talent and the
world knows it. </FONT></FONT></P>
</tr></table>

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Asif!

I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that you have not closed your <td>? Try adding the closing </td> tag and see if this helps:

Thanks Blob. Doesn't look like that's the problem though.

<TABLE>
<TR BGCOLOR="black">
<TD ROWSPAN="2" ALIGN="center" WIDTH="144" VALIGN="MIDDLE" HEIGHT="75"><IMG SRC="/images/top_logo.gif" WIDTH="90" HEIGHT="90"></TD>
<TD ROWSPAN="2" ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="368" VALIGN="MIDDLE" BGCOLOR="black" HEIGHT="75"><IMG SRC="/images/focus_txthd.gif" WIDTH="342" HEIGHT="59"></TD>
</tr></table>

I have experienced NIGHTMARE issues with IE for mac and most of them relate to caching issues. Whatver your caching settings are, it seems to ignore them a lot of the time.

Navigate OFF the page, go to the cache preferences, and delete the cache. Restart the browser and try again.

This includes even style sheet changes - many times they won't update until I delete the cache as above.

It is a very good idea to validate your code too, it could be some other small glitch that renders fine but is causing the page to break.

Just FYI, most of us are VERY THANKFUL that they are going to cease production of MSIE for Mac very soon, and support for it as well. This will force Mac users to use Firefox (sigh of relief) or Safari (please no . . . .) :-)

Did you upload the image as binary? Is the image called focus_sm.GIF on the server instead of focus_sm.gif (lowercase?)?

thanks guys.

the image names are the same.

the problem with clearing the cache is that i may be able to view the images, but what if the user doesn't do the same?

All I can say is "precisely." That is a very good question. You could **try** the no-cache meta tag - I have not expiramented with this one, and don't know if it will help:

<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">

Thanks. I tried that before, but it didn't work. I also tried deleting cache and that doesn't work either.

Asif,

You could try putting the root into the image call. I have experienced this with IE and this usually solves it.

<TABLE>
<TR BGCOLOR="black">
<TD ROWSPAN="2" ALIGN="center" WIDTH="144" VALIGN="MIDDLE" HEIGHT="75"><IMG SRC="../images/top_logo.gif" WIDTH="90" HEIGHT="90"></TD>
<TD ROWSPAN="2" ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="368" VALIGN="MIDDLE" BGCOLOR="black" HEIGHT="75"><IMG SRC="../images/focus_txthd.gif" WIDTH="342" HEIGHT="59"></TD>
</tr></table>

If it doesn't work... I'm sorry.. It is just what I have expeienced :0)

Good Luck Asif!

-- Zak

<ADDED>Also, IE is sometimes case sensitive! Make sure that your "images" folder does not have a Cap "I", and there are no capital letters in your image name.</ADDED>

This is kind of urgent. Anyone has any ideas?

Something you never answered (if you did I'm blind, sorry) - have you validated your code? Do this first of all. It may be a problem in some other area of the page besides the snippet you posted.

Well the problems I've found have always been specific to the particular Mac; it would occur on one and not another, so the question is how many stations have you viewed this on?

And as you know support for MSIE for Mac is going away, so this will become a non issue very soon. (Probably not soon enough for your needs, but . . . )

../images/top_logo.gif"

This is asking the browser to go up one directory and if the current document is at root it is incorrect. It probably works because there **is** no "up one then to images." :o) I think you mean /images/top_logo.gif"

EDIT: Wait a second, Have you tried opening this image file, saving it as something else - different file name and format, like a .jpg or .png - and reloading the page? Maybe it's something about the IMAGE that IE doesn't like. Give it a shot?
