Broken images

[\\.\]

The FF browser (Latests version) keeps on showing a broken image despite the editor showing the image perfectly fine.

I used IrFanView to make the image smaller in file size to make loading of the image faster as it is 27kb but as soon as I change the image compression in the slider to below 60% FireFox only shows a broken image icon...

Anyone know what FF does this, I have also noticed it doing the same with small images despite the file existing.

IE7 which many people bit** about doesn't do it, the image is displayed without problem.

The testing server is local on http://127.0.0.1/ so their no argument other than FF has problems displaying images 13kb or smaller. This I have tried various sizes and find that >15kb has no issue.

Can the FF guru's offer any reason for it.

FF doesn't like the syntax "C:\blah\blah.jpg" for example, whereas IE deals with it. That may be a reason. But I can't see your html after looking for it at 127.0.0.1

I have a web server running....

All images are relative to the base URL hostname eg <img src="img/the-img.jpg">

C:\ doesn't ever enter into it.

I have tested several copies of the image and when it gets <15kb it only displays a broken image container.

IMHO theirs an issue with FF as this shouldnt happen and doesn't happen under IE6 or IE7.

So is this a bug in FF?

I think its a bug because FF just crashed. This is the latest version that was installed via the FF site through the browser as well.

No it's not. Small images work in FF. But I can't help much more given I can't see your code or your image.

Edit: just saw yours crashed. I'm on FF 2.0.0.6 if that helps. What version is yours?

Same version.

Code? I just said.

<img src="img/tpvp-logo-40.jpg" width="394" height="400">

and under IE6 & IE7 it shows up but not under FF.

I have experienced weird image problems from time to time with the browser. If you right click (ctrl click for Mac) on the broken image and go to "view image" does it give you an error message?


If so try to re-output the image from your image software (i.e. in photoshop you would open it up and then save it a new under "save for web and devices")

This re-optimization usually clears up the problem for me.

Just a thought.

Ive never used IrFanView, but are you also seeing broken images on the Web? If not, it's not FF.

Yep, I have played around with it and the issue is FF, IE6 & IE7 show them perfectly fin, FF below a certain compression level shows them up as broken images.

Quite why FF displays this problem or rather doesn't I can't work it out.
