Hi Vic
Good news, in a way - directly embedded the image in the web page and
it displayed fine! Something about the javascript slideshow maybe
causing the problem. I had tried 4 different slideshows with the same
results. Have to dig into java a bit more I guess.
Still frustrating!
Great news! Have you tried updating your javascript? Also, check the
information here, it may be that one type is more compatible with one
type of Javascript than another.
You have not mentioned the version of Windows you are using, but, you
can try the information below that fits.
You can update your scripting engine. The latest scripting engine can
be found at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
For 2000 and XP go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...43-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en
The install includes a new jscript.dl
Hope this helps.

Tried reassociation too - no luck. Download file - looks fine
-
One other thing - in investigating the properties of the images - all
of those that won't display - in the advanced summary area show the
brand of the camera, the format, the date picture taken and a bunch of
other stuff. Other pix that were taken with digital cameras just show
image size and type, etc. Just possible that the camera puts something
in the file that causes a problem?
Still strange thought that I can view them fine on my local machine,
either direct from the cd or copied to HD. If I upload and provide
link and click link - pix displays. But try to display in a javascript
slideshow - nada.
One thing I haven't tried - embed the image directly into the web page
and see if it shows. If it does - maybe the java interaction on the
web is the issue - because it displays fine locally.
Frustrating!
Doncha just LOVE computers on some days???

Hi Vic
One more thing, and this is just a WAG, but, try reassociating them
with the program that you want to open them with, i.e., whatever
program you use to view/open the graphics with. It may be that they
the 'type is unknown' may be confusing something in the process.
Maybe it's not really a
jpeg.
I have seen cases of this before, and it has happened to me a time or
two, and applying the right extension resolves the problem. Have you
tried downloading the file to your hard drive to see if it opens
properly? If not, what happens? Still blank? Get an error message?
If so, what is the message?
Hope this helps.

Thanx, Jan but so far no joy
Did find out something tho from one of the links - in looking at the
properties of the images that Don't display - the type is unknown,
the size and resolution are correct but "date created" and "Date
modified" are unknown. The filename(s) are correct - they are all
JPG files.
What is frustrating is that they ALL display in IE locally but when
d/l from a page, IE doesn't recognize *some* of them. If all were
blank, I could go with a bad driver, or some sort of firewall or
setting.
If it were just the header, then why would it display locally?
Frustrating.
Think I need to find a graphics forum and see if there's some
incompatibility that I am unaware of.
Thanx,
Vic
Hi Vic
Try the following and see if it helps:
Try clearing the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files
(and
delete offline content.)
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
Go to Internet Options>Advanced Tab
Scroll down to Show Pictures -
Check the box if unchecked to display pictures all the time.
E Images and Pictures or Red X in Internet Explorer
http://www.colba.net/~hlebo49/ieimage.htm#IMAGEREDX
also see here:
Scroll to Red X

Also...update your video driver. If you don't know the location of
your Video driver, or how to find it:
Location for XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q314854
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/games/learnmore/updatingdrivers.mspx
or......
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q314854
Find the information on your video driver. Then go to the website
for mfg. of the video driver and look for the update to download
and install. There may also be a Update Driver button on the dialog
box you can use to go direct to the update download site.
and..
If you have McAfee, turn off McAffee's Privacy.
Zone Alarm Pro can block Images in IE
1. Go into IE>Tools>Internet Options>Security>Custom level>reset
custom level to Medium or Low
2. Go into IE>Tools>Internet Options>Privacy>set the slider to
Medium or Low
3. Go to this site and read on adjusting the Privacy settings in
ZA. It will explain how to customize on a per site basis.

Kerio Personal Firewall and any other anti-advertisement software
you have on your system will also do this.
Can't see JPG's or GIFS any more - red x - images missing - fuzzy
images/distorted images

Hope this helps.

I'm having a problem with pix displaying in IE6. I have several
images, arranged in a javascript slideshow. All the images were
large jpg files which I resized ( using MS Image Resizer tool ) to
640x480x24b. They are then uploaded to a website. When I view the
page online, *some* of the pix do not display, showing only the
dreaded red 'x'. However, when I view the page off-line, in
Dreamweaver or Front-page - all the images display as expected.
Using various graphic programs to look at the pix, they all
display and all seem to have the same general properties -
640x480x24b. I tried changing size on the problem images - no
luck. Tried converting to .gif files - same problem.
I have the site set as Trusted and if it were a security setting,
NONE of the images would display, correct?
I'm stumped! Has anyone seen anything like this before?
I'd appreciate any input!
Thanx,
Vic
