Image Viewing Problems by Dan on 07-26-2004 at 10:42 AM

I am having problems viewing images in my Web Browser (Internet Explorer 6).

For example, when I visit the 'Affiliates' section of my website (http://www.vexonet.com/index.php?page=affiliates), the only image I can view is 'http://www.vexonet.com/images/vexonet88x11.gif'. The rest are invisible. I also get the same problem with some other websites.

In the attachment is a screenshot of what I can see.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

have u tryed reloading the page

RE: Image Viewing Problems by Dan on 07-26-2004 at 10:45 AM

Yes I have tried reloading the page, I've also deleted my cookies, files, and history in 'Tools -> Internet Options'.

RE: Image Viewing Problems by toddy on 07-26-2004 at 10:57 AM

right click over where the pic should be and click "show picture".  does this load the picture ? or stay the same

RE: Image Viewing Problems by Dan on 07-26-2004 at 11:39 AM

I've tried that and a menu appears, but it doesn't say 'Show Picture'.

Do you connect to the internet via a proxy? Have you got some :dodgy: software on your computer that could block access to websites? Like McAfee Privacy Service, or some kind of parental control software?

RE: Image Viewing Problems by Dan on 07-26-2004 at 11:50 AM

Via a proxy? What do you mean? I connect via ISDN (64 Kbps). I have Norton AntiVirus 2003, Ad-aware 6.0 and ZoneAlarm Pro.

RE: Image Viewing Problems by Anubis on 07-26-2004 at 12:02 PM

A proxy intercepts all requests to the computer to see if it can fulfil the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to your computer...

RE: Image Viewing Problems by Dan on 07-26-2004 at 12:05 PM

Oh I see, no I don't think I connect via a proxy. Does anybody know what's causing this problem, then?

RE: Image Viewing Problems by Dan on 07-29-2004 at 10:48 AM

I've found the problem! When I type in the full address of where the image should be (www.vexonet.com/images/affiliates/ripperhunting.gif) it comes up as 'http://127.0.0.1:3008/clear.cgi?'.

What's the next step?

RE: Image Viewing Problems by WDZ on 07-29-2004 at 11:02 AM

I did some searching, and it looks like ZoneAlarm might be the problem. Do you have it set to block ads?

RE: Image Viewing Problems by Dan on 07-29-2004 at 11:08 AM

I have ZoneAlarm Pro installed, and yes I do have it set to block ads. I'll disable this feature and get back to you. Thanks for your research, it's appreciated :)

I set the Ad Blocking to 'Med.' and it works fine now. I have Google Toolbar installed anyway, so I don't have to worry about getting popups. Thank you!

RE: Image Viewing Problems by CookieRevised on 07-29-2004 at 03:12 PM

btw, you have some more problems then that within your html code....


Problem 1

For starters there are here and there some hard returns after lines where they shouldn't be, so remove them:

code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"<hard return>
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
code:
<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "',<hard return>
'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,re<hard return>
sizable=0,width=220,height=340');");
}
// End -->
Not all are wrong (the ones in html-tags), but the ones in script shouldn't be there!


Problem 2

Furthermore, and this is a very serious error, there seems to start another new html code right in the middle of the page:
code:
<td width="540"><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"<hard return>
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
...


Problem 3

Also, in the scripts: you use document.getSelection(), you should use window.getSelection() instead...


Problem 4

Furthermore, you're missing a <br>-tag here:
code:
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"></form></font>put a <br> here<font size="1" face="10" color="#000000"><a href="/index.php?action=results">Show me the results</font>


Problem 5

This image doesn't exist: http://www.vexonet.com/images/affiliates/dlserve.gif because you have uploaded dlserve.GIF. Names are case sensetive. So rename the file to dlserve.gif....


Problem 6

There is no style3-class defined anywhere....
<a href="mailto:webmaster@vexonet.com" class="style3" style="text-decoration: none">e-mail meloose the space here</a>

... ...





Check all these errors on all your pages, as they seem to occur everywhere on every page...

TIP: Do NOT trust on Internet Explorer for showing your page. It certainly DOES NOT automaticly mean that your page is ok when it shows nicely in Internet Explorer.... Also don't use 1 particular browser to check your page, use several different browsers, because each browser can show you page differently...

;)
RE: Image Viewing Problems by Dan on 07-29-2004 at 04:09 PM

Thanks for your time for reveiwing my coding, Cookie. I've done problem 1 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> so it just looks like that.

For problem 2, I cannot see the error in my HTML. Please explain it to me. The same with problem, 3, 4 and 6. I figured out problem 5 after I posted.

RE: Image Viewing Problems by jren207 on 07-29-2004 at 04:26 PM

2: For a webpage you should only have one tag that explains the document type in a page and that should be at the very top and you should only have one <html> and one </html>. It's like you have another page inside a table. You might have been planning to put the page in an iframe (this isn't the case though) It looks like that page might have been included into the main page. for example

<td>
<?php include("affiliates.php"); ?>
</td>

affiliates.php:

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

RE: Image Viewing Problems by CookieRevised on 07-29-2004 at 04:47 PM

Problem 3

Also, in the scripts: you use document.getSelection(), you should use window.getSelection() instead...

=> you use in one of your scripts: document.getSelection(). This is a non-standard objectmethod. The correct one (and which is compatible with all browsers) is window.getSelection(). so replace document.getSelection() with window.getSelection()...

Problem 4

Furthermore, you're missing a <br>-tag here:

code:
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"></form></font>put a <br> here<font size="1" face="10" color="#000000"><a href="/index.php?action=results">Show me the results</font>
=> Again, an Internet Explorer thingie... Only in MSIE the line "show me the results" is put under the button (for unknown reasons). If MSIE converted the HTML-code in the correct way then it should be next to the button. Thus this is how it is shown in "good" browsers; next to the button. So, in order to put the line under the button, you must insert a <BR>-tag there....

Problem 6

There is no style3-class defined anywhere....
<a href="mailto:webmaster@vexonet.com" class="style3" style="text-decoration: none">e-mail meloose the space here</a>

=> you have class="style3" in that link. A class defines how an element is going to look like. These classes are defined in your stylesheet. But there is no class named style3 in any of the stylesheets....

=> the "loose the space"-comment is there because you have entered a space there and after the </a>-tag there is also a space. Two spaces are useless and will be converted to only 1 space. This was proberly a small typo... Furthermore, you should always use the <a href>-tag and the closing </a>-tag directly infront and after the text, without any spaces in between. Otherwise you could have some small layout problems....
RE: Image Viewing Problems by Dan on 07-29-2004 at 05:03 PM

Thanks jren207, I've fixed problem 2 now. If you could just double check it to make sure all the pages are correct and don't contain problem 2 anymore then that would be great.

Cookie, I know what the problems are, I just can't find the errors in my page. Which pages are the respective errors on? And what script is problem 3? I still can't find problem 4 or 6 either. Sorry to hassle you.

RE: Image Viewing Problems by CookieRevised on 07-29-2004 at 07:59 PM

All problems are based upon http://www.vexonet.com/index.php?page=affiliates, but they do appear on other pages as well...

Problem 3

search for "document.getSelection" and replace that by "window.getSelection"...

Problem 4

search for "<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"></form></font><font size="1" face="10" color="#000000"><a href="/index.php?action=results">Show me the results</font>" and insert that <br>-tag

Problem 6

search for "class="style3"" and delete it...

RE: Image Viewing Problems by jren207 on 07-29-2004 at 08:26 PM

You site is free from problem 2 (y)

I'm not sure about the other problems, cookie knows more about that stuff... :S

Remember: (good tip :P )

That the included pages are just parts of a page. If possible, copy you main page delete whats in the middle, then add what you want for the feature and then copy it, save it and delete main page you used.

RE: Image Viewing Problems by Dan on 08-01-2004 at 11:10 AM

I've fixed problem 6, I can't find problem 3 at all, and I can only find problem 4 in the webpage source code when right clicking on my browser. I can't find it in either 'affiliates.php' or 'index.php' in Notepad.
