I created a little webpage with the first pics of the new boat using my normal method of creation for quickies, Netscape Composer. This time, however, the page won't load the images in any IE browsers. Loads fine in Netscape 4.79, but no images in any of the 3 different machines I tried plus some friends systems. I am stumped as to why this is happening. It's real basic HTML, and I even placed the images in the same directory as the HTML file for simplicity. Plus it seems to take longer to try to load in both browsers.
Anyone ever seen something like this? I've created hundereds of pages before that work fine by this method. Any advice appreciated, esp if the HTML is screwed up somehow... Thanks!

Works fine on IE for MacOS. The variation of styles in the <img> tag might be causing IE some confusion, even though it is usually the most tollerant of this sort of thing:

<img SRC="tr20_profile.jpg" height=432 width=874>
should be:
<img src="tr20_profile.jpg" height="432" width="874">

The NOSAVE tags you've used in some places might be causing problems too.

The background path needs revising too:
background="file:////Cartman/cartman/jump.net/images/bk.jpg"

Yeah I forgot about the background tag. Thanks!

So I finally figured it out, the charset was set to UTF-7 for some reason and that seemed to be preventing IE to load the images on 98, XP and Me boxes...
