No indication of image src not found

[philip937]

I have a few images missing, and have just noticed on my new website build, whereas normally your get the blue box thingy don't you where its indicating there is an image that cant be located, i'm getting nothing.. so in fact on some pages if it wasnt that i knew there were supposed to be images there and i knew the html was looking for them I would have absolutely no idea!?

anyone come across this before? wondering if it might be something I have installed? maybe some javascript, maybe some css?

any ideas?

A link to the website would help, specifically an affected product, but yes an add-on could do that, try deliberately making a missing image for a product and see if it shows up the same way or whether a "blue box" appears,

Just to confirm, when you are saying missing image, are you meaning

1) the product has an image assigned to it, but that image is missing and your browsers missing image icon isn't showing up, if so does the missing image icon show up on other sites that have missing images?
or
2) that the product has no image assigned to it, and zencarts standard no-image picture isn't showing up

No even if I hard code a call to an image that doesn't exist nothing shows.
I've removed all css and java for all addons and same thing happens. Pretty sure my other sites are not doing the same.

correct.

After ideas what can cause this. I looked on the net and seen some js and jquery thy people use to hide it but I can see any references to any of this type of code.

Any ideas?

I have a few images missing

What's the URL to an example?

whereas normally your get the blue box thingy don't you where its indicating there is an image that cant be located

Only certain browsers do that. Others, like Firefox, display nothing.

And, for those that do show a placeholder, it doesn't put a placeholder when an image can't be *located*. It puts it when the URL to the image gets an error response, such as 404-not-found or 403-forbidden, etc.

Can't send a link as its a development site.

Just after ideas at this stage. It's not a massive problem I've just never noticed this before.

By not being able to locate would mean 404 not found surely?

Ill try some different browsers, am using Safari at present.

Well, even if you can't "post" the URL here, find out WHAT the URL is, and try to visit it. What happens?

Returns 404 not found.

... then it's not in the folder location specified.

So, you'll need to then backtrack to find out where that image reference is coming from (you haven't said whether it's a manufacturer image, a product image, a template image, whatever), and find out why it's telling it to use a non-existing name.

I know that the reference is wrong. I can correct that and make the image show. The question is because I'm am trying to understand why I am not getting any placeholders for images that are incorrectly referenced/don't exist ..
