Images not displaying

[Chad Harris]

Using IE6 at default security level in XP SP2. Often I'll see what I think
is java script or java applets not displaying, and if I refresh it will.
For example on this page on the MSFT Office site, when I first loaded it,
all the question marks were replaced by red X's, and a refresh on the IE
toolbar brought back the blue question marks.

What do you call the question marks and why does this happen?

When loading this page, before the image showed up for a couple seconds
there was the Java Coffee Cup Image from Sun in its place. Why?

I'm at default security level (medium) and have JV Machine and MS VM. There
seems to be no problem when I click View>Java Console on the IE toolbar or
Tools>Sun Java Console on the IE toolbar. I have all 3 boxes under MS VM
checked on the advanced tab of IE options, and I have active scripting
enabled. Does this have anything to do with the default setting of Java
Scripting being at "high safety?"

Thanks,

Chad Harris

Hi,
First:

When loading this page, before the image showed up for a couple seconds
there was the Java Coffee Cup Image from Sun in its place. Why?

http://www.geocities.com/chattykathy01/rainfall.html

That happened when I visited the page and I'm having no problems at all with
JAVA or scripting. I wouldn't worry about it. ;-) But the default setting
at Internet Options> Advanced> Microsoft VM is to check only "JIT compiler
for VM enabled" The other two boxes are normally unchecked.

Your images problem is with small GIFs apparently. Start near the bottom of
this page http://www.colba.net/~hlebo49/ieimage.htm Start with: "From
Andreas and Jason
I've fixed the red-x-problem on my pc. Getright (4.5) caused the problem"

Then work through the rest of that page and if necessary
http://www.fjsmjs.com/IE/redx.htm and
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers.htm#jpg_gif

Hope this helps,
Don
