329251 - Images on my site ,which was created with composer, don't view in Internet Explorer.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[josh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 

I created my website with composer and published it. Now my images won't load for anyone who uses internet explorer. I put a note on the bottom for a link to your site to get firefox but that's like putting a bandaid on a broken leg. It might be my HTML code, but I doubt it is. I tried having the site load different kinds of image files and I still get the same problem. It might be that IE has the bug, but I hope not because I'd prefer that Firefox did so at least then someone will do something about it. Microsoft never fix's anything in a timely manner. Any advice on how to fix this problem with Mozilla?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to this site with internet explorer instead of firefox

Expected Results:  
The images wont load on IE

It should load all of my Images no matter what browser someone uses.

It may be that the image file is not an .bmp or that it isn't supported; I don't know. Whatever it is, this is definitely NOT a Mozilla bug for sure. Whatever it is, it is highly recommended to not use .bmp image. 

"Note: If you plan to publish your pages to the web,
  it's best not to use BMP images in your pages."

Best is PNG image file.

Gif or PNG?

Finally, when you do
font-family: chiller;
you're requesting the font-family chiller from the user but they might not have such font installed on their system. You should provide alternate font-family and a generic one.

Putting a splint on a mere graze ...

Your site may have changed of course, but the URL you gave points to a resource
that looks fine to me. Are you really saying that your preferred browser
cannot display an image referenced by a URL such as
http://sws.pcc.edu/student/CIS120_gvershum_17239/joshuamakosky87/images/home.jpg
 ?

You might indeed be better off using png for cartoon images such as navigation 
aids, but that is outside the mission of the Firefox bugzilla, as is fault 
finding on your alternative browser.
