When I view websites with MSIE 6 running on XP Pro, they
refuse to display some graphics files. It's not that the
graphics won't load... they're being bypassed.
Example: On my woodworking company's web site:
www.SmokyMountainWoodworks.com there is a wooden arch
across the top of the page. Above that is a logo graphic
with a mountain, a few pine trees and the company name.
Under any other browser, or when using MSIE on Win 98,
it's all there. Under XP Pro and MSIE 6, the logo file
is missing.
If I click View/Source I find that the graphics call
portion of the code has been neatly snipped out of the
source code file.
I've checked my source code. It's fine. I've uploaded
it again. I re-iterate that under any other
browser/OpSys combo the code and the page displayed are
fine.
I've tried re-naming the file, saving it as a different
format, moving it to a different location on the page.
Nothing changes the fact that this combo just refuses to
display certain graphics files. And it's consistent
across all web pages.
Another problem file is my View Cart button. They're
being removed from every single page of this web site.
I've even tried switching to a button available on my
shopping cart providers server -- different file name,
different file format, different SERVER -- they're still
AWOL. This combo just refuses to display my View Cart
buttons.
I've found similar problems with other web sites I've
built. No consistency between file types, names, or
purpose. But the same files are missing every time I log
onto these sites. I've tested this with other peoples'
computers running XP and MSIE 6. Same results.
Why?
If it were just me, I'd just switch to Netscape or Opera
and dump MSIE 6, but I build web sites. Now I'm worrying
about how many other people are not seeing key parts of
these web sites because of this bug. Is there anything I
can do differently to avoid this?
Thanks!
