Image link not working in IE

[neil9999]

Hi,

In internet explorer, when I view http://www.theramclub.co.uk/, the image for 'Carmina' is unclickable. It works fine in Netscape, and also if I take out the first paragraph of text for Carmina. Any idea why this could be? Disabling the popup blocker has no effect.

Thanks,

Neil

There needs to not be any spaces in the window geometry specification.

Ok thanks, I have taken out the spaces in window.open, but this hasn't solved the problem.

Thanks,

I used the following as a quick check and it worked fine in IE and FF (didn't open a larger image in another window, but the same size one):

<h2 class="eventh2">Friday 18th May 2007 - <a href="http://www.carmina.co.uk/" target="_blank">Carmina</a></h2><a onclick="window.open('http://www.theramclub.co.uk/dates/small_Carmina%202007low.JPG','','width='+screen.width+',height='+screen.height+',resizable=yes,scrol lbars=yes'); return false;" href="http://www.theramclub.co.uk/dates/small_Carmina%202007low.JPG"><img class="eventimg" style="width:250px;" src="http://www.theramclub.co.uk/dates/small_Carmina 2007low.JPG" alt="Carmina" /></a>

<img class="eventimg" style="width:250px;" src="dates/small_Bob Fox 2007low.JPG" alt="Bob Fox" />

This (and a few other similar example) throws a "invalid URI error". "Uniform Resource Indicator", -cannot have "whitespace" in scr="" part (between "Bob" and "Fox", between "Fox" and "2007low*").

Either rename the image(s) to exclude whitespace, use an underscore or hyphen ("_" or "-"), and this may or may not affect you, but I have had problems with my server not 'serving' images with upper-case extentions e.g., "*JPG".
Probably better as precautionary to re-name to "*jpg" (lowercase) and avoid any issue with image not showing.

Thanks, Ron I have got that code working on its own but the problem seems to be when I have two paragraphs (separated by <br /> tags in the same set of <p> tags) following this code. If I just have one paragraph, without any <br />, <b> or <i> tags, it works fine as it should but for some reason when I add the extra paragraph, the picture becomes unclickable (i.e. not a link).

Joel, I will make sure future images are named with lowercase file extensions and no spaces: thanks for this advice.

Any ideas?

I notice the following occupies two lines like this:

onclick="window.open('dates/Carmina
2007low.JPG', (rest not added here)

I put your code exactly as you have it on your page, but with it all on one line:

onclick="window.open('dates/Carmina 2007low.JPG',

It then worked just fine in IE 7.0. Noticed the code for othe images are on one line and don't have a break:

onclick="window.open('dates/megson.jpg', (rest not added here)

Maybe correct that portion and try again. It opens another large IE window with image just fine.
