Elementary code behaves differently in Mozilla & IE

#1 July 23rd, 2005, 11:43 PM

The code is:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
align="center">
<tr>
<td align="left"><img src="proceed_off.gif" width="79"
height="24"></td>
</tr>
</body>
</html>

Displays the gif file correctly in Firebird/0.6.1. All I get with IE
6.0 is an Xed out display. I tried specifying the location of the
location of the gif file but still no luck. Any ideas?
TIA

Do you have IE configured not to display images?

OK, I have 2 gif images - one an arrow, and another the word
'Proceed', both about the same size, created with MS Paint. The code
works fine with the arrow but not with the word in IE. Weird, isn't
it?

Check filenames and extensions. Check for typos. Check to see the image is
in the location you expect it.

Try altering Pop up Blocker settings in IE . . . ?

I'm not sure what popup setting would have to do with things.
However, there is an end table tag missing, there is no doctype at the
start of the file. You should perhaps use a validator and check if
there are html errors when you get strange behaviour like this - try
http://validator.w3.org/
