276428 - .jpg images do not show --

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

I built a simple one-page website at www.gilllawoffices.com using a couple of
Tables and two .jpg images.  I can see the .jpg images with an Internet Explorer
6.x browser, and a Netscape 7.2 browser, but the images do not show up when
viewed with the Foxfire browser.  

I used the Netscape 7.2 Composer to make the page.

Any help/suggestions?

Thank you,
David Gill

-> invalid

The reason : 
The URL for the Images are on your local hdd for example:
<img alt="Scales of Justice" src="file:///D:/Pegasus%20Website/scales.gif"
 style="width: 225px; height: 191px;">

Firefox and recent Mozilla version doesn't allow it to load images on your local
hdd (security reasons) if you load it from a http:// document.
That is the reason why Netscape7.2 shows the images but not Firefox.
Y
ou have to transfer the images on your webserver and change the image-link.
It currently only works for you with Netscape7.2 but it doesn't work for other
people who don't have the images on their local HDD.
