Images not Appearing in Windows Browsers

All of a sudden simple images are not showing in IE7, IE8, Firefox, and Chrome. The problems are only on PC's. Even cleared cache's.

Safari for Windows works perfectly. All Mac Browsers are perfect.

<a href="http://www.SITE.com/" target="_blank"><img src="/image.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="100" align="middle"></a>

The images exist, really.

Cheers!

Re: Images not Appearing in Windows Browsers

Are you talking template images? product images? The URL?

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Re: Images not Appearing in Windows Browsers

Not a Zen Issue. Just a PC thing I guess.

Interesting lesson after living many years in the womb of Apple.

Just using Elementary HTML 101 to program the sponsor page.

Now the issue has been verified on several PC's. Only Safari for Windows showed the images. All I have done today was to convert the jpg's into gif's and the missing images appear. :huh:

Many other images on the same page are jpg's and they show fine.

Can anyone enlighten us on the phenomenon? :frusty:

Cheers!

Re: Images not Appearing in Windows Browsers

Assuming that you've put the images in the root of the website and not in a folder then your problem is the pathway.

You have: mysite.com/ followed by /image.jpg (two forward slashes).

The error handling of Firefox and other non-Windows browsers is better than IE. IE literally needs the exact and correct pathway or it won't work.

I can digg. Paths were spot on. I gained a few more grayscale hairs that day. Thanks Vger :)
