Hi.

Another thing I thought of last night was would it be possible to take the 
image that is working, and copy it to the same name as the image that wasn't 
working?  if it works ok, you would get two copies of the image displayed on 
the screen, otherwise its the code that is wrong.  If it does display twice, 
its something barfed with the image itself.

Paul,

    In addition to the good advice given by Andrew and George, it could be 
worth checking the code for the image that won't display. Important things 
to check are:

1. Do all the attribute values have quote marks around them?
    For example: <img src="picture.gif" />

2. Is the syntax correct?
    For example does the tag contain both src="" and alt="" attributes.


    It could also be worth, just for the sake of argument, deleting the 
vagrant image and copying it back into the directory. No particular logic 
for this, only that sometimes odd things work!

    As Andrew asked, perhaps you could post up the code as cut and paste 
from the offending document. That will help troubleshoot.

Cheers,
Tink.
