Afr0	Does anyone have any idea why this website doesn't display the image header in IE7?

JL235	It's not a version number, it's a build number. That is why it's so long, and with so many builds it needs to be.

Afr0	Whoops, I meant IE 8... IE8 is the latest browser we can support at work, as they haven't invested in Vista. :\ And my boss can only use IE8 on his PC because he claims that Google Chrome has issues interacting with some other programs he's installed, and I'd rather not force him to install another browser. sigh -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

Dabz	Huh? Why does it have to be in the body? It works fine in Google Chrome... I've found Chrome to be very un-nitpicky about stuff... I had a right chew with tables, things were going great in Chrome, but, as soon as I tested on IE and FF... It was downhill! So, I fixed it up to work in IE, though and behold, it worked fine in FF and Chrome.. Go figure!?!

JL235	IE isn't actually broken though, it's been free of any major bugs since about IE 5 (or earlier). The issue is that it doesn't support anything; that's the problem!
Tue, 31 May 2011, 20:13
CodersRule	Chrome just renders it the best it can. If it doesn't know what to do, it makes its best guess. <head>, like 9572AD said, is only for non-content stuff. all of your actual content should be in the <body> tag.
Tue, 31 May 2011, 21:51
JL235	The new HTML5 spec actually allows you to close tags (or at least certain tags) in an incorrect order. However browsers have been dealing with this in one way or another for years. @Afro: if your gonna use HTML4 then I'd recommend using XHTML instead. It'll catch all these bugs for you!
Wed, 01 Jun 2011, 00:44
Afr0	Pah, I moved the image class and the CSS link down, yet IE8 still refuses to display the image! Diablos: I don't know XHTML! -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!
Wed, 01 Jun 2011, 03:31
JL235	It's very similar to HTML, it's just properly formed. See the Wikipedia article for more info. The main reason I suggest it is because the browser will refuse to display the page if it contains bugs, and instead will point out the bugs to you. This makes debugging XHTML documents much easier then HTML.

HoboBen	On a page on its own (in the same directory).

Do any of those work? Does "Agdernering" mean "banner" or something? Could it be ad-blocked? -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

JL235	Google for FireBug-lite and add it to your site. Then you have FireBug in IE. Next you can inspect your page and find the image link, and then have a look to see if it's able to find the image. It could be that the image link is broken, or some other issue with how IE is parsing your HTML.

'Agdernering' doesn't mean banner, no. Diablos: I added Firebug, but I don't see the point..?

Mon, 06 Jun 2011, 02:11
JL235	FireBug isn't about viewing source, it's about being able to look at elements easier and to make it easier to follow image links to see if they are valid or not. Anywho, try using the explicit path to the image (i.e. /images/Agdernering). You should do this anyway as relative paths will break the moment the page is moved.

Mon, 06 Jun 2011, 03:08
JL235	I wouldn't include the http bit of the address, just use '/agdernering/Agdernering-silver.PNG'. Using the whole domain is bad because it means if you ever change domain (including working locally or setting up a dev server) then it will break.
