Ok I will try and outline a particular problem I had recently!
I would classify myself as being reasonable compentent with HTML but recently came across something that really perplexed me. i am currently playing around with building online stores using cgi. Anyway I recently discovered that only half of the people I wanted to could view the site pictures I was displaying. I called a friend and asked him to view for feedback I was shocked when he said he only got red xs and alt tag descriptions showing. When he disabled his firewall he could see everything???? How in hell does a firewall prevent people seeing jpegs and gifs on IE6 service pack 2??????
The page in question is http://www.butthatsnotall.co.nz/store/agora.cgi the images are currently serving from http://www.butthatsnotall.co.nz/sto....cgi?picserve=/
but when the were served out of an ordinary old images path I got the 50/50 view problem?????
Has anyone got any ideas why a firewall was crippling accessibilty??
Cheers in advance
Alex
