IE image problem?

[Brian]

Is this happening on all images, or just ones that have an image rollover when your mouse is over the image. If your problem is with rollovers I can say that I have had this occur as well. If its with any image that sounds like either a bad connection to the net (your connection is dropping packets) or perhaps its your browser acting up.

There are some diagnostics you can perform to get an idea of what the problem might be if its with your internet provider.

If you are using Windows/NT
1.[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp] click the 'Start' button
2.[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp] click 'Programs'
3.[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp] click 'MS DOS Prompt' to start up a DOS window
4.[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp] Type: PING domain.com

Ping statistics for 216.115.108.243:

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

===========
You will want to look at the last report on this page that notes if you lost any packets, and also your round trip times.

I hope this helps.

<EDIT>
I see you are on a MAC, those instructions will not work for that. I am not sure on how to do this on MAC's, but I am sure you can search your computers help files for &quot;ping&quot;. If you cannot do this, you might want to give your internet provider a ring.

I haven't figured out the ping thing yet, but I wanted to note that this happens all the time in IE but not netscape. I have avoided using IE very much and finally decided that I should use it more to check our site...and this image thing is buggin me! Then I wonder...it seems to happen more on OUR site hosted here at FQ[nbsp][nbsp]than other sites (though it does happen elsewhere too)

Could it have anything to do with how our site was coded?

And I am on DSL and have a little network at home....

Very odd. Does anyone know why this happens in IE and not netscape?

IE5 has some sort of problem with displaying images that are dynamically generated (the output, not the image itself) in cgi pages.[nbsp][nbsp]I'm not sure what causes it, but reloading the page always seems to work.

I find that when surfing using IE (MAC) often my images don't fully load... more on my site than on other sites, but it does happen here and other places as well.

I get a little box with a red[nbsp][nbsp]square, blue triangle and a green circle in it. Very small.

Why does this happen?[nbsp]
