Running XP professional, with IE version 6

Testing

No idea. You're running the same version as me, assuming Service Packs have nothing to do with it, and the HTML used is pretty bog-standard. No fancy Objects or inline stuff. Do me a favour and save a Source file of this page (right click -> View Source, then save it) and e-mail it to britnet@design31.com. I'll compare your code to mine and see if there's anything weird there.

I right click > view source and it does nothing. I cant even see anything happening, there isnt another window trying to pop up, just nothing )
The same procedure in Firefox does give me a source box, but that doesnt help does it? )

Righty-oh....fixed the cant view source thing by clearing out my temporary internet cache.
Will save the source files and email them to you )

Hey E17

If your picture's all about not being afraid, why's the guy at the back got his hands up? French, is he?

VRB, no, he's just in the middle of Doing the Dudek.

Myasibe, I have found the problem. Nigel you might wanna take a look at this. Normally the image is displayed as such

a href (URL)
img src (URL)
/a

On Myasibe's source code it just has

a href (URL)

No IMG tag, no end A tag, nothing. Might be a personal board option that is not being handled properly by the code.

Glad you found something wrong....I thought I was going stupid....I have been looking in securuties and everything to see what I needed to switch on/off

edited to add If it is coding on the board, why does Firefox work with the images, It is set to exactly the same theme?
enquiring minds and all that )

Hmm yeah if Firefox shows it, it can't be user preference. It can't be browser settings either as you wouldn't see any images - any of the little smilies, the colour bar on the right where you enter a post, nothing.

It must be something in the way your particular user or browser affects the code sent to the browser. A lot of scripts use browser detection If it's Firefox on Windows do this, if it's IE on Mac do that, etc. There must be a glitch in the code that stops the output of these images.

My solution would be to simply stop using Internet Explorer.

This fixes about a million other problems as well wink

lol lol lol

have to agree.

IE is just habit.....It is like my mouse pointer has a little blue 'E' magnet on it and it gravitates towards the 'E' even when my mind and hand is pointing to the Mozilla icon.
Maybe I should bite the bullet and remove the IE icon from my taskbar.....mmmmmm...

The reason I used IE is sort of catch 22. I use it when I am web developing as 90-95% of visitors of my pages use IE. I check with Mozilla once in a while but usually only when I have fiddled with design rather than content.

I have to work with IE, Netscape, Safari and Firefox. sad

Can you send me the offending snipped? I also need to know the theme that was used and if it happens with other themes and well as the browser version.
