Broken images in IE (sometimes happens)

**GeekSupport** · Dec 20, 2003 16:17

anyone know why IE6 would show some images as broken? If i refresh enough times, all my small pictures (edit, delete, info. < 1kb each) will appear. right-click > show image, displays the pics as well.

mozilla 1.5 works fine

try dumping your temporary internet files

nope. that didn't do it

I guess it could be an overworked server or something that is causing the problem, although it would be weird that it wouldn't happen in mozilla too.

can you post a link?

**GeekSupport** · Dec 20, 2003 17:33

it's on my local machine and i'm not prime95'ing it

apache 1.3x

Edit:

actually, you can try it on another site http://form.unionspeak.com go "Title Here." sometimes the up/down arrows don't show. (click the title to edit it)

I would imagine it has something to do with the way you are linking the images that IE doesn't like.

sorry I can't help any further.

is there more than one way? i just use the standard <img src="relative/path/img.gif" />, nothing fancy

Do you have SP1?

I've heard SP1 can screw IE up a bit and make it not show some images. [/idea_from_azz]

Though that's probably not it. >_>

whatever the latest patch for IE is, i have it.

Some links for those who haven't seen this problem

before - just loaded page
after - right-click > show image

(note: you'll notice the browser name is "avant" but it still uses IE as the backend)

Fixed
i just added a preloader js in <head>

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
arImageSrc = new Array (
    "edit.gif",
    "delete.gif",
    "info.gif",
    "email.gif");

arImageList = new Array ();

for (counter in arImageSrc) 
{
    arImageList[counter] = new Image();
    arImageList[counter].src = "images/" + arImageSrc[counter];
}
-->
</script>
