Why is IE6 stripping image files. It selectively ignores some <IMG> tags

B

Berto

I am running Windows XP with all latest service packs and updates. I noticed
a problem that I am not sure when it began. The browser is selective not
displaying some of the graphics on the page. I do not mean that you get the
red X. It simply as if the graphics should not be there.

I decided to get the source that IE read on the computer with the
malfunctioning IE as well as the source for the same page on a computer in
which IE is displaying said page correctly. Below are three of the
differences and as you can see you can see that on the malfunctioning IE the
<IMG ....> tags are missing. Any idea on what could cause this?

I am not sure why it selectively chose those particular <IMG> tags as there
many others in the document that works fine.

HELP PLEASE

I am having the exact same problem. If anyone out there can explain why
this is happening I am quite sure there are a great number of people out
there that will benefit. Microsoft has seemingly pulled all of the recent
KB articles regarding this subject and merely acknowledges that it is a
problem with IE6 SP1.

Interesting enough I fireup another browser, specifically
MozillaFirebird, and it had the same problem. This tells me that the
stripping is occuring somewhere in the Windows API for internet
communication since this browser is totally independent of IE. Now I
am lost.

Your virus checker may be blocking 'adverts'. Under some
circumstances this means it will block images on a
webpage. Norton Security I know does this.
