Hi everyone,


I have been editing my website on Talkcity for a month or more and I have just recently found out that my graphics are not showing up in the netscape browser. This problem is really frustrating me because I want people who come to my website to be able to see all of the graphics I have worked so hard to put on it. I am using HTML to edit the page. It shows up fine when i view it with IE, but for some reason it just displays the netscape no image thing when i view it in Netscape. I have used this code for the image: <img src="filename"> and even tried <embed src="filename"> after someone suggested it to me. The problem with the second code is that after i inserted it into the html code i couldn't see the images in either one of the browsers. This is so frustrating I CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT! Please help someone.
The other problem I am having with Netscape seems to be my problem only. I have a WAV file that plays when everyone else views the page, but when I try to hear it I get a message that says "Unable to Play WAV file".
I would appreciate any advice. Just post here or email me at

It will help to post the URL of your website so the HTML code/images can be checked. Sounds like you might be using an image format that is not supported by the Netscape browser or you might be using spaces in the filenames, Netscape does not like that. The EMBED tag is not really used to display images so that is not a surprise. Whatever the problem, post the URL.

Regards,
Kevin

I had a similar problem, but as well as my images not appearing, my text turned into little boxes. On checking image files, I got rid of spaces (thanks!) which solved that but the text is still dissapearing, after scrolling down.
Any ideas?

Steve,

Looks like you might be using a word processing program to create your HTML documents, which is OK but you must save the work as TEXT or ASCII or, if available, as an HTML file. The little boxes are control characters that the webbrowser does not support. Do not save HTML pages as richtext or word or other word processing file formats.

Regards,
Kevin
