Ok, so I'm moving on Wed. morning and I have to have my website ALL DONE before then.

Only problem I'm having...

http://www.jamesmeister.com/portfolio.htm

refuses to load the image thumbnails ONLY in IE.

I've looked over the source code again and again but I don't see anything wrong.

Could you guys take a looksy and see if you see what might be freaking out IE?

Thank you SO much,
Mac Guru

Fixed now.

James used URLs like the following:

<a href="javascript:Start('/img/portimg/boko.png', 300, 360)"><img src="img/portimg/boko_t.png" alt="Southwest Texas State Mascot" width="128" height="128" border="0" /></a>

I told him that the " />" didn't seem to be a normal thing, he removed it & it worked.

Despite it working for both of us in IE after the change above, now for some reason it doesn't work again, though he says he didn't change the code again. More thoughts?

Looks like IE is having trouble with your particular blend of .png files?!? Try them as jpg thumbnails to see if that solves it. I have a hunch that it's a particular IE Mime-type problem that causes it not to know what to do with .png images (even though it should support them perfectly!) - how did you generate them? Imageready? Fireworks?

Nope, removing the quotes around the zero border fixes it. Very stupid problem, however, integers really shouldn't be quoted. So really, same should go for height and width properties, as well. Anyway, problem solved.

Well, not strictly true - if the document is declared XHTML then you must quote all attributes.

Something's a bit amiss, because I've used 8bit PNGS no problems, even with IE5.x for mac.

The doctype is valid... Hmmm...

Problem at your server end?
