IE6 not displaying images in webpage

Hi,

This is my first post here, I come in need indeed!

I'm building a webpage which presently is in a folder on my C drive.
Inside the site folder, along with the HTML files are two folders, one css that holds the CSS and one called grafix that contains all .jpgs and gifs.

IE6 cannot read the style sheet (doesn't format the page properly as per the .css file) nor display the images when I do File > Open> browse> open filename.html it only shows rectangles where images should be with either a red X or 3 or 4 shapes of different colors. It can, however, read the accompanying "alt" text for each image.

The images were done in Photoshop 7.

IE will display the images individually, if I do file...open filename.gif or filename.jpg but cannot from the HTML files.
I've tested the files in Dreamweaver, no errors.

I have tried a mix of both relative and absolute links, no images shown either way by IE. Mozilla has no problems displaying the images with a mix of relative and absolute links, reads the CSS and displays the entire page pixel perfect, all images are exactly where they should be.

I don't think the rest is relevant but...the op sys is ME.

If anyone has run into this problem and / or knows the solution I'd appreciate hearing it.

Thanks

Your html is probably wrong and linking incorrectly your images etc.
Are your paths written the windows way i.e. folder_name\whatever or *nix / web way folder_name/whatever -> a snip of code might help.

Hi,

This is the way it was before:

<img src="grafix/bannergl.jpg"/ >

I tried this, after reading your message:

<img src="gl_grafix/bannergl.jpg"/ >
<img src="/gl_grafix/bannergl.jpg"/ >
<img src="./gl_grafix/bannergl.jpg"/ >
<img src="../gl_grafix/bannergl.jpg"/ >

I saved the page between each attempt

None work

Hi librisx,

Your paths may be incorrect. The first two should work, however try adding the space before the / opposed to afterwards. (eg. <img src="grafix/bannergl.jpg" />)

Good Luck

i had the same problem and found that when i made my pages xhtml compliant dreamweaver added little gremlins for me to find.
try it with no / at the end.
(eg. <img src="grafix/bannergl.jpg">)
it did the trick for me

That makes it non xhtml compliant if you remove the /. See RedDog's answer..
