Images dissapear thanks to Ad-block

[royend]

The Ad-block is a great thing, but it really makes designing for web and usability more difficult. I discovered that some of mye images dissapear thanks to Norton AntiVirus Ad-block.

Does anybody know how to avoid the Ad-block from removing the images?

I have tried putting the image in <div> and <table>, as well as hiding the image as background and css... It is quite amazing how the ad-block knows how to remove the same image regardless of where it is in my code.

Thanks in advance :)

Is your image served up from the same domain your web site? If not, this might be a cause. Also, I believe some ad-blockers look for images of certain standard ad dimensions and block any that match.

In general I believe the problem is about Ad-blockers. The pictures only disappear when I have mye Ad-blocker on.

My pictures are of the same size (ca. 150*75), still only the ones in my right tablecolumn disappear.

In addition, I tried adding a big picture (that took up a whole page), and had only some small text at the top of the page. The text appeared, but the image wasn't showing.

Also, in the source the <img>-tag is missing...

I am grateful for any advice..

Out of curiosity, what format is the image? *jpg maybe? Can the image be something else, like *gif? I read that most 'banner ads' are *jpg (or include them), and get a strike against them.
What is the image's name? Sometimes benign images can be troublesome as well if the image or the DIV containing them is named something suspicious, like "banner" for instance. I created a few personal web sites and created a 'top of page DIV' called "banner" before knowing this. I have since re-named the top-of-page DIV to another name just to pre-empt any future problems...

Images named "banner.jpg" are possibly immediately suspicious due to their name and their extention, even if they are in fact nothing worth ad-blocking

I don't know for sure if this is the case (I don't use Norton myself), but have read a few apocrophillic reports of users reporting these observations..

Link?

Here is the link:

The type of the images are gif and jpeg. The images are logos linking to important partners. They do not pay for it, so it is a free service from us to our visitors.

Also, there is not any ad-sensitive names such as "banner" anywhere at the site.

Hope this may help.
Thanks for your advices.

You've got a lot of HTML problems and the Javascript error document.h0 has no properties on line 260.

I had the same problem, but I solved it by uninstalling Zone Alarm.

Names like banner.gif and advert are bad and are likely to be blacklisted.
