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.

Hi Folks,

A little problem with HTML which I'd appreciate a hint on if anyone can shed
light on a solution please!


When creating some HTML manually, my daughter has the problem that by using
the <img src=file name> coding to put an image on a page based on file name
which contains a GIF image, for one image file it displays fine in IE, while
using another GIF file located in the same directory, it does not! The image
files are about the same size and both display fine if displayed locally in
Paint, but one appears on the page in IE and the other does not! Obviously
we've tried refreshing the page in IE! Anything else that anyone can think
of that might cause this odd scenario to happen please? She has to do this
by hand rather than use Front Page as it's part of a university assignment
in which she has to demonstrate a knowledge of HTML.


Cheers.

Paul.
