Hi

OK, so it's WACKY WEB DESIGN with bags of horizontal scrolling which gets you nowhere, except stuck in the middle of pink cyderspace,...

 

BUT

 

My Wot No Poems Trog, which I made using Microsoft's Paint, won't display in IE. It's fine in Mozilla Firefox, but IE, after IE's shown a scary warning about the simples javascript alert box that is about to come up, IE just shows the red cross in the top left of an empty white area where the pic should have been.

 

WHY?

this image? http://cyderspace.net/wnp.jpg

 

shows fine in IE8 and IE6.

Hi Mr Wonderful Zed

Thankyou once again for your time, and your instant response, and your expertise.

So I've prob got a malfunctioning IE7.

Thanks

I'll check it out in http://browsershots.org/

maybe it's a popup blocker not liking your message box?

My Mozilla Firefox doesn't mind at all. My IE has this pop up blocker which I continually disable, set to 'allow' but it still comes up with the 'activex control stuff is a threat' alert box, which is then followed by the alert box I've scripted to onload in the header...

except just now. nothing happened on the IE. I tested all the browsers, and they were all fine too.

I cannot replicate the problem, but I've a nasty feeling that it won't have gone away completely.

Thankyou for your time once more

I've tried it in FF,IE8 and IE7 (in compatibility mode) - image is there for each browser

 

One thing I did notice was that when I looked at "View Image Info" for the picture (in FF) it shows the image as a png, but you have named it a jpg - I'm confused

Thanks for that Nero.

I didn't name the file. it named itself I think. I don't know what a png is but this could be the reason that IE was acting up... IE won't brook any nonsense from wacky beginner web designers like MonicaR

 

Should I change the file name then? What difference would that make please? I really don't understand... I thought that .jpg was just a way of compressing a file, whether it is a photo or a drawing like this.

 

Thankyou for your time
