Ok,
I am using img tags in my pages as i always have done and have no problem viewing them locally however I am experienceing a problem with animated gifs when they go onto the web.
1. I can't see them!
2. On viewing source the img tag has changed to a adv tag without me doing anything.
I am creating the basic pages in dreamweaver2 and uploading through the site manager.
I am running winxp with SP2. Why can't I see them and more importantly is this the same for any other viewers of the page or a 'my pc' specific problem. The problem happens in both IE and firefox.
Xample page would be www.write-impressions.co.uk/index1.htm. there an animated gif in the upper left - can anyone see it, why can't I?!?
I shall console myself with the marvel of Vodka until the morning. Hopefully one of you dudes will be able to point me in the right direction. Happy seasonal stuff. x

If you drink enough vodka maybe the animation will appear to work...though, it will not solve the problem for others. I can't even access your page. I get a The requested URL /index1.htm. was not found on this server 404 Not Found error.

Your site is at www.write-impressions.co.uk forget the "/index1.htm"
As for your gif, is it supposted to be ? :
<body topmargin="10" leftmargin="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/buttonshop_on.gif','#1078342388684')"> Must be there are no other images between this and the next.
if so, why doesn't it look like this ? :
<img src="images/buttonshop.gif" width="129" height="23">
If the second one works the first one will in the same way. A gif is an image, so you should treat it the same.....right?
Oh and you may as well take off the 'no right click' since it only works on IE and it makes it harder for us to see your code since we must switch browsers to get it. Besides if anyone steals anything...good, sue them ha ha.(You do have it copyrighted right?) Cool.

boys, boys, boys. Thanks for all the info I didn't ask for. You're off the topic now. Why not go and answer someone elses questions with different answers.
I have solved the problem by making the image in question a background image rather than a straight image. Then it shows.
"Your site is at www.write-impressions.co.uk forget the "/index1.htm"
Thanks sir jake, a little patronising and you are sending people to the construction page rather than the actual page (index1.htm) that had the problem. Thus all the advice you are giving is for the wrong page. Some advice - think, then type. Good lad.
happy new year everyone.;)

scotch33,
Not all of us here know everything, even the simplest things about web developing, including me, that's why we're here. I honestly thought you gave us the wrong URL......actually, you did...
www.write-impressions.co.uk/index1.htm. IS NOT accessible as palmertires said, that URL is meaningless, we can't see it at all. You did want us to see it right? That's why you put it there and asked...
Xample page would be www.write-impressions.co.uk/index1.htm. there an animated gif in the upper left - can anyone see it, why can't I?!? I agree, think, then type.
As for the graphic, I did refer to it by saying add it as an image not onLoad (easier). However I like the way you were able to solve the problem. I should have thought of that since I do that on my site as well (only bigger).

fair do's, jakey boy.
strange though that you can't see it as everyone else seems to be able to! I noticed a full stop (or period if you are one of our big brothers on the continent with guns) at the end of the URL. Hmm perhaps there is a typo. NYway just to check I again wnet there this morning and below is the url copied straigt outa my browser. When you get a sec just tak a look would you - i wanna be sure it is a typo rather than there being any other reason you can't see it (see! you got me intrigued now!)
Later mate,
John.

Scotch,
No need to fret, you are correct! It was the period (aka full stop (aka dot)) that made the url not work for palmertires and myself. I've seen the site, no problems. Guess we're just use to hitting a link and having it work but still I shoulda caught that dot! Til the next time, be well. Glad you got your image up.

Any idea what would cuase that?
My page always loads ok everywhere that I've tried it, but had 1 person report images not showing up...not even a broken link symbol, I had them email me the source to check it and 'adv' replaces 'img' in the immage tags. I can't replicate the problem on my computer . Any idea what would make it do that? The person was using AOL and had the same issue with IE through the AOL ISP and whatever browser aol defaults to.
from the email of the source:
<adv height=59 alt="The Aviation Links Page" src="../img/banners/avlink1lrg.gif" width=468 border=0></A>
Noticed no solution was found here besides the workaround of making it a background...
Thanks for any help,
Matttt....

Blimey - this thread is a blast from the past! Matt, if you can point me at your page, and just run through the problem in simple terms I'll try to help you find a solution.

hi mate - me again.
have now refreshed my memory of this thread. To be honest it was such a long time ago I have no idea what I did to sort it.
What I do now is avoid creating anything in dreamweaver!
The only route that immediately springs to mind is to use the image as a background in your css and get around it that way.
sorry can't be more help.
