I have a problem with IE failing to display an image under the most bizarre circumstances.

I have posted a question in Q&A but felt the puzzle of it all deserved a wider audience - hence I'm posting a link to my Q&A Question here

What is wrong with the VERY simple html?[^]

in the question is a link to the files I downloaded, and an explanation as to the problem.

This isn't something I need to be fixed - but I am just really curious as to what the cause is!

Kudos to the person who finds the problem!

It took me some time to find Notepad...
I can't see no problem in my end...
I done this:
1. downloaded and extracted you page...
2. downloaded a new image from the web (directly into the images folder, using IE, so blocking is active)
3. edited image name in Notepad
4. refreshed the page
All work well - I can see the new image...
Did you used F12 to see if you have any hidden messages?

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

I don't understand this phrase?

This is strange! Can you let me know the URL of the image it worked with, so I can try it with the same image, just in case?

Yes - I've used F12 and nothing of any interest is there!

It means that when I look at the image-file properties, it has an 'Unlock' button under 'Advanced'...

This is the image I used (I done a Google search for 'me' an picked the first image it found)...[^]

When you uploaded the image via your FTP client did you ensure that the ASCII option was not checked?

I ask this because I have spent the past three hours trying to figure out why images I was uploading were not displaying correctly, then I discovered by chance that FTP surfer had, under the Tools menu, the ASCII option checked.

Good thought , but no.the image is fine,and duplicating the HTML in another file,displays it OK.

You realize, of course, that while you're doing this, you have to cross dress? The rules are very strict...

Please!
I thought I'd been around long enough for you to realize that I never wear clothes while posting on CP!

But you're right - I shouldn't break the guidelines - I have slipped on a baby-doll nighty.

And if I find out who left it on the floor ...

Stupid remark of the day:
Use

./images/myimage.jpg

instead of

images/myimage.jpg

If only you knew how many variations of this I tried before finally finding the solution!

I've only ever read two chapters of his work (and watched one TV series, and read one collaboration), so I'm afraid I won't get any "in" jokes.

For future reference, if you look about 2/3rds of the way down the page, there is "Permanent link to this comic: http://xkcd.com/1498/" which means that the link in your post doesn't become meaningless, confusing, or possibly slanderous when Randall posts tomorrows cartoon... Laugh | :laugh:
