Why doesn't IE5 show my images?

Post by sweahe »

Two images is missing when looking at this page in IE5, why?
What can be done to fix this? It renders perfectly in Mozilla and almost as good in IE6. It's OK if it's not perfect in IE5, but I atleast want it to display all images!

One more odd thing in IE5, when clicking on the map icon, it shows an absolute layer with a border, but not on the first click with IE5! The border is missing... but just on the first click, then it shows up if I click the icon a couple of times more???

Any ideas?

Another odd thing with IE5... tried my page on another computer with IE5 and there it worked, all images is visible!??

Someone out there who can try my page in IE5 and see if there is an image to the left of the first text and one image to the right in the WE ARE OPEN box.

try defining that first image as inline if you haven't already done so. if you have then i will continue scratching my head.

the second image might be getting pushed aside by this line:

Code: Select all

<p><strong>All major credit cards accepted.</strong></p>
as a result of the p tags.

and always remember that IE is going to be a bit quirky when you use this style of table-less page layout. you'll find that it works on some computers and dosen't work on others.

I'm getting real tired of IE... can't MS make a program that isn't full of bugs and quirks!??? I tried and made the image inline and I took away the <p>... no change at all! Discovered that IE5 sometimes shows the images and sometimes not... press F5 a couple of times and you'll see!

On IE 5.5 all the images appeared fine - check your version number as 5.0 is a lot more quirky.

Not much I can do about it... version 4 I don't support at all, they have to upgrade and IE5 users will have them self to blame too I guess!
What is the latest browser stats, is anybody using IE5 nowadays?

Why can't everybody use Mozilla!! =)

Considering that people still use Netscape 4 I think you can safely assume that there are a lot of IE 5 users still out there.

When deciding that you're going to ignore certain browsers it's always a good idea to remember that a number of workplaces restrict their employees to a single browser and that those users can't do anything about it.
