I had a similar problem with a two of my websites. The first was a frames website the next was just a conventional job. The interesting thing is that when viewed on a computer other than my home PC, the banner at the top of the page proved to be there, just like jour banner is on my PC at the moment.
As I am using Dreamweaver 4, I feel that the coding is all correct. What I have put this dissappearing banner down to is the Anti-Virus plus Firewall software I'm using has the facility to block pop ups and banners and some how is affecting the coding. If you are using something similar you could try this.....

While using your home PC with the dissapearing banner, click the right mouse key to view source, you will probably find that the top table in your page will be more like....
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="712">
<tr>
<th width="213">
<th width="503"></th>
</tr>
</table>
..... without the referrence to your banner graphic, which is on my PC,
<a href="index.html"><img src="images/banner.JPG" width="700" height="245" border="0">.

One way to get around this is to add invisable text (same colour as page!) before the banner table with the graphic, or, as bad as it seems, put the banner graphic on the page without a table!!! Use spacers or coding to place it. I know it sounds daft but it works. Hope it helps.

Hence banner.JPG will not show because the correct extension is .jpg.

--------------------
That was quick..

It was only an idea.
Havent said that, I dont use capitalized file names either. So what prevents the banner graphic from showing?
All the text is there on the page but the coding does not show any indication of a gif or jpeg... unless I change the table that contains the banner. The coding for these Advertising Banners are inserted in the coding at the top of the page. So using reverse logic, the Pop ups and Banner removal software has to start somewhere like removing that table that I put at the top of my page to include a graphic.....
I going home now, as its getting late and I need my dinner. Will check tomorrow fro your reply.....

If you were to type in the URL to the image with a capitalized extension, the browser normally asks if you want to download it. So if you call an image with a capitalized extension, the browser will not recognize it as a regular image, rather as a downloadable file.
