Problem with links not loading

Post by nigma »

Hey I have a few links on my website and they all display a .bmp image. I have like 15 links and all display different .bmps. Only the last five load on Win98 machines though. The last five were .jpgs but I just renamed them to .bmps. Anyone have any suggestions on what may be the problem??

What image type tends loads faster in browser?

Thanks for all help and advice provided.

bmp is a generally a format used by windows which uses way too much space on your harddisk. jpg uses about a tenth or less of what a bmp uses.

Generally: Use jpg- or gif-format - if you want to play with the file in PHP (say, create thumbs etc on the fly) use jpg, as gif has become copyrighted recently.

Apart from that - you need to post some code to give me an idea what's wrong.
