IE won't open images that other browsers do open

[Chip Wiegand]

When I try to open certain images on my web site using IE I get an error -

Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested object.
It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.If you think this
is a server error, please contact the web master. Error 403

This can not be a server error because all other browsers have no problem
opening the same images. Someone suggested a SSL problem, it is not
installed on this server. Someone else suggested permissions problem, all
images in the same directory have the same permissions and only certain
images cannot be opened by IE. I have tried IE6 and 5.5. I have set the
security settings in IE to the loosest they can be and still cannot open the
images.

Could someone please check the web site www.simradusa.com and the page
Autopilots, then AP11, then Dimensions. It will happen on other pages as
well inside this site. If you open the System Diagram image it will open, it
is a image map inside a .php page. The others are just image links.

This does not occur on any other web site I have surfed to. It is specific
to IE and this one site.
This is really frustrating me.

Thanks

I don't access the internet through a dial-up account - we use T-1 corporate
access. I get the same error when access from my home pc with a DSL
connection, only when using IE.

I checked those sites and Microsoft
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318380 but none of this explains the
cause of the problem I am experiencing. They all seem to point to IIS server
problems. The web server is RedHat Linux. This cannot be a server problem -
the images open fine in all browsers except IE. It has to be a IE specific
problem. That's why I asked if someone could connect to the site and try to
view the images, and I provided the link info in the previous post.

Thanks anyway,
Chip

I have tried two slightly differant ways to open the image -
The original -

<li><a href="#"
onclick="window.open('images/ap11/ap11dims.jpg','dims','toolbar=no,width=389
,height=302,left=10,top=10,status=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no');return
false"
onmouseover="window.status='Dimensions of the control head';return true;"
onmouseout="window.status='Simrad, Inc'; return true;"
class="c1">Dimensions</a></li>

And a simplified version -

<li><a
href="javascript:void(window.open('images/ap11/ap11dims.jpg','dims','toolbar
=no,width=389,height=302,left=10,top=10,status=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no
'))" class="c1">Dimensions</a></li>

Both result in the same error of course. Both work in other browsers, but
not IE.

New development, this is interesting -
I created another link to the same file, just a simple a href link to load
the image directly in the same window as the web page, and it loads fine in
IE. The javascript window.open stuff is somehow causing the 403 error.
