images in Firefox not showing up

**kmott** · 10-03-2005 09:58 AM

Hello,
If someone can take a look at this url:
http://www.kmdesignworks.com/redesign/index.asp
click on any article on the left..
images in are not showing up in Firefox, at least in my browser. The images are on access db.. they show up in IE... any ideas. Hard coded images are ok in both browsers.

thanks

Hi kmott!

replace the backslashes '\' to slashes '/'...
if that is not enough, try to use relative pathes instead of static once.

best regards,

thanks.. I'll do this ASAP..I can't FTP from where I'm at.
I guess the error could occur when you right click copy the image path from your hard drive and paste into access, I would think that'd be ok ..I'll post back when I can fix it ....thanks!

Changing the '/' 's didn't do it. Any Fire fox users able to see the images??

I see the images of the page, but not sure if it is the images you are talking about

**kmott** · 10-05-2005 01:30 PM

thanks...the images in question are in the upper left hand corner of each article.. after you click special interest for example..these are stored as paths in access and do show up in IE..

There's something strange with your character encoding? The validator can't figure it out and gives strange errors. The css validator also give bleches on it.

You also need a doctype and your <style> tag is wrong.

Ok thanks
actually when designing the page, I was going back and forth between browsers to see how the page rendered in both IE and Firefox. It looked pretty much the same in both (layout wise) but the database images aren't visible in FF. That was the only odd thing

You mentioned the style tag error? how can I fix this?

also,which doc type do you suggest, if you use a strict XHTML doc type and there are errors will the page still render?
thanks for any suggestions

What he mean by doc type is this, and add it before the html tag

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

and the validator, I think is trying to find this, but you dont have the type: <style type="text/css">

Pesonally, I woudn't add the style tag in the actual html doc itself, I would have it external, for one reason, If you change it once, all the pages linked to it will have the same layout, then you dont have to change every html doc every time you want to change the CSS.

The backslashes are still there in the image URL

**kmott** · 10-06-2005 09:22 AM

Little guy,
Actually, the style sheet is in an ASP include file for single source updates the source code is just displaying the HTML.. Ok understand the error on the style tag, I'll update that and the DOC type..thanks

Fang ,
I don't get the backslash thing on the images, the path is cut and pasted into access, right click on the image..properties and paste, why would there be an issue with this? can you see the images in IE? thanks

FF doesn't like paths with backslashes, IE couldn't give a xxxx whether they are slashes or backslashes.

**kmott** · 10-06-2005 09:51 AM

This is the path for the images

In your document it's http:\\www.kmdesignworks.com\Demo\conference1.jpg

**kmott** · 10-06-2005 11:10 AM

Ok I'm getting it.. regardless of how the path is inserted in my DB the forward slashes are changed to backslashes in the document...

I'll try reversing the slashes again ..all forward right?
