My web site is http://www.globalexpo.com with an Addon domain http://www.pyramidcityproject.com. On my GlobalExpo home page there is a photo of me, using a standard img src link that points to my image file (GordonSharpe.jpg). This has worked fine over the years. Yesterday I put up the index page for Pyramid City using XHTML, and it has exactly the same coding line for img src as does the globalexpo.com page. However, the threesidedtriangle.jpg image does not appear. The alt text does (Equilateral triangle), but not the image. Out of curiosity I changed the Pyramid City img src to GordonSharpe.jpg that appears on the globalexpo page and it appeared on the Pyramid page for about 15-seconds, then disappeared. I have since changed it back to:

<tr bgcolor="#D5EDB3">
    <td colspan="3" rowspan="2"><img src="http://www.globalexpo.com/images/threesidedtriangle.jpg" alt="Equilateral triangle" width="94" height="108" border="0" /></td>

    <td height="50" colspan="3" id="logo" valign="bottom" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">Pyramid City Project </td>
    <td width="18">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>

Any ideas as to why it won't link on one page, but will on another, when both use the same image folder? I am thoroughly confused, and have been designing sites for a very long time. Maybe not great sites, but at least functional ones. If it is important, I used Dreamweaver 8 on this Pyramid page, and one of their templates.

Yes, and this morning it is showing up for me as well. In the interim I have done nothing in regards any changes, so have no idea why.

However, that problem seems to be resolved, and I think you for your input.

I also see the isosceles triangle (not equilateral -- fix the image height and width so it isn't stretched vertically?) on the Pyramid page. Since it's being served from the Globalexpo site, can we assume that you have no hotlink protection, or if you do, it's properly configured to allow the Pyramid site to access images? That's the usual problem with images not showing up on a recently added subdomain or add-on domain. Anyway, since those of us on the outside can see the image, the problem is likely that you need to clear your browser cache.

Don't forget to remove the UTF-8 "byte order mark" on the Pyramid page. It's noise that Microsoft editors put there to annoy people.

I'm not sure why (or how) Microsoft editors would put something ( UTF-8 "byte order mark" ) on a page that was designed in Dreamweaver. Can you elucidate?

Interesting. I hadn't even noticed that it was there, but it has been removed. I obviously have to start reading every line in the coding, instead of just skimming past them.

Thanks for the input people. As always I have learned something new, and at my age I seem to be doing that more and more.  Very Happy
