Web Design Problem.................design gurus.... HELP! (please)
I'm designing a web page, and the image I'm using will not display in Internet Explorer. The image displays fine in Netscape and Firefox, but is totally missing missing in IE. The rest of the page looks fine in all three browsers. This is happening when I preview in Dreamweaver and if I view it live on the web.

I've never seen this before. Any clues? The image is a jpeg, optimized for the web in Photoshop.

1. Does it appear if you refresh the page?
If it's showing up in NS & FF then your src is good.

2. RGB color?
CMYK can cause problems.

3. It needs to be .jpg, not jpeg
I KNOW...they are the same format. But IE doesn't recognize .jpeg (or .png, for that matter)

Resave it with .jpg extension and I'll bet it renders.

7. Actually IE does support png...
It just doesn't display the alpha transparency properly.



The bane of my existence.

9. I don't call it support when it doesn't render something the way
it was created to look.

8. It does have the .jpg file extension, even though I called it jpeg.
I optimized it in Photoshop using the "Save for Web" option, which assigns the .jpg extension.

12. Try going back and
saving it out as a straight .jpg, without the 'save for the web' option and see what happens. (I only use that with Illustrator, don't like the results from PS)

14. It's a problem with your tables
Change the value of the width in this tag to "100%"
<table width="401%" border="0" align="center">

15. Yep, that did it................Gadzeeks!, I'm an idiot!......
401% wide makes no sense. I should have caught it.

My humble thanks, Mr. Web Guru!

17. Come to think of it...
Maybe it was supposed to be 401 pixels wide?

18. Yeah, I don't know how that code got written........
Sometimes Dreamweaver bites back. I'm tempted to start hand coding, as I would have never come up with a value over 100%, but Dreamweaver is a lot quicker when it is co-operating.

Another problem I keep having with Dreamweaver is that it sometimes writes code with an extra "/" thrown in, which means I have to go in and remove by it by hand, or images won't show and links won't work.

I've never had any trouble with it myself. Weird.
