Missing Images in IE

[Laphan]

Hi All

Apols to past readers who may have seen something like this a couple of days
ago in this NG, but I'm on a different track.

Basically does anybody know what the answer is for when you visit a web site
(more so with IE 6 and WinXP) and some of the pics (gifs/jpgs) don't appear.

Instead the white box with the red cross takes it's place until you
right-click on the pic and select Show Pictures.

Once you do this the pictures show up for the remainder of the session.

It appears to be pics that are repeated such as thumbnails for nav link
lists and I just can't seem to fix it with HTML code. It seems to be a
browser issue, as the pics intermittantly load or don't load (until you
click Show Pictures from the floating menu).

Please somebody put me out of my misery on this.

Thanks

Laphan

Are you also offering an apology to all the readers
on all the groups to which you are multi-posting
this question?

See my answer on c.i.w.a.s.

Either <http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/>
or <http://mozilla.org/>, while I recommend
the latter.

IE6 has a problem displaying images, and the problem is rather random. The
current Windows updates don't fix the problem.

The following javascript snippet fixes my problems, but use at your own risk
(times may need to be tweaked:

function imagePatchIE() {
var imageLoadOk = true;
try {
for (var i = 0; i < document.images.length; i++) {
if (!document.images[i].mimeType) {
document.images[i].src = document.images[i].src;
imageLoadOk = false;
}
}
} catch(arg) {
imageLoadOk = false;
}
if (!imageLoadOk) setTimeout('imagePatchIE();', 5000);
}

if (document.all) setTimeout('imagePatchIE();', 1000);
Enjoy,
Chris Rathman.

Well, after upgrading to IE 6.0 SP-1, I did
not have this particular problem anymore.

After having applied every patch to date, I still have the problem. Missing
images are a problem that has been said to have been solved several times - and
inexplicably crops up again and again. Though the symptom of the missing image
is the same, there's actually a number of different underlying causes.

Here's a couple of references from the MS KB.

And while I'm on the matter, I posted some stuff on one of my forum hangouts a
while back:

http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/c...ntentid=150605

Reference is to a test page that I set up at:

http://www.angelfire.com/tx4/cus/test/test.html

The missing image problem is subtle and may take quite a few refreshes but I do
get them under the latest version of IE (Version
6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633).

Anyhow, the JavaScript I posted is fairly innocuous, and assuming the images do
load properly, then it doesn't do much of anything (the MimeType is checked).
