Hello everybody. I created a graphic for the products page of my website. It is a big red graphic in the middle of the page. It shows up in Firefox but when I check the site in Internet Explorer it says the image is missing? The image is RGB so I know that's not problem.

Here is the link:http://www.chimera-bikes.com/home.php?cat=108 .Please view it in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Thanking everyone in advance.

Firefox is calling:http://www.chimera-bikes.com/skin1/images/bike_size.jpg
IE is calling: http://www.chimera-bikes.com/bike_size.jpg

This is what I put in the "products.tpl" file to make the image appear:

<a href="http://www.chimera-bikes.com/pages.php?pageid=11"><img src="{$ImagesDir}/bike_size.jpg" alt="Bikes Sizes Chimera Bikes" width="" height="" border="0" align="middle" /></a>

What do I need to change to make it work in Explorer?

Tal I appreciate all your help.

I'd suggest changing the {$imagesdir} to http://www.chimera-bikes.com/skin1/images/

Not quite sure why it wont properly parse the dir correctly.

I wouldn't do this. {$imagesDir} is the right way to do it. If you put the exact url there with http what happens when you look the page under https? A security warning. Your code looks ok however it could be the width and height with IE - put there your image dimensions

Yeah, kind of forgot about that

But not having width+height defined can cause the actual URL to not be correct? Thats new to me o.O

Not sure about this but I expect everything with IE

In my experience, I found that the height and width need to be defined with IE. The other problem I noticed with IE is the acceptance of certain image formats (ie. .png, .jpg, .gif)

IE interprets width="" height="" to display the image 1px wide and 1 px high. You can just leave off the definitions for width and height if you want the image to display without resizing it. But setting width and height equal to nothing will cause problems.
