Hello,
If someone can take a look at this url:

@d4p41nOct 03.2005 — Hi kmott!

replace the backslashes '' to slashes '/'...

if that is not enough, try to use relative pathes instead of static once.

best regards,

@kmottauthorOct 03.2005 — 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!

@kmottauthorOct 05.2005 — Changing the '/' 's didn't do it. Any Fire fox users able to see the images??

@The_Little_GuyOct 05.2005 — I see the images of the page, but not sure if it is the images you are talking about

@kmottauthorOct 05.2005 — 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..

@drhowarddrfineOct 05.2005 — 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.

@kmottauthorOct 06.2005 — 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

@The_Little_GuyOct 06.2005 — What he mean by doc type is this, and add it before the html tag
<i>
</i>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"&gt;


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.

@FangOct 06.2005 — The backslashes are still there in the image URL

@kmottauthorOct 06.2005 — 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

@FangOct 06.2005 — FF doesn't like paths with backslashes, IE couldn't give a xxxx whether they are slashes or backslashes.

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@kmottauthorOct 06.2005 — 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?
