Comment:

I have put up a webpage using dreamweaver on an XP Pro system running IE6 latest. I find that on several other computers the background and some of the jpg files do not show. I have upgraded all the other 98SE systems to the latest IE but still no good. I also checked everything in the IE Options, advanced and all are set the same as my XP system. I can not imagine this to be an OS problem and with IE upgraded, I find nothing else. Any suggestions appreciated.

Bruce

Check the path of the image. Make sure to use Absolute or Relative.

For Example

Absolute is to type the whole path of location of the file or image or what ever like this
http://www.sss.com/sss/index.html

or

Relative means short path
sss/index.html

2600 Rulez!

You could also avoid this by inserting a BASE HREF meta tag in the head of each page, which will fill in the first part of the path when using relative references.

Ex. an image in the Images folder would be linked thus:

<HEAD>
<BASE HREF="http://www.yoursite.com/">
</HEAD>

<BODY>
< IMG SRC="Images/image1.jpg" >
</BODY>

The server will read the BASE HREF first then add the relative path to it, to supply an absolute path to the item.

I'm sure you have not written exact path of the image. Check the path please. Sure it will help.

There is another possibility to consider: character case. If the site is on an Apche/Unix-type server, file names are case sensitive so links must include capitalisation where needed.
