I noticed a problem with the following codes I have in DBMAN:


If there is an image, it shows up fine in Microsoft Internet Explorer (2.7 and higher) just fine. Yet in Netscape 3.0 and higher, the image only shows as a broken image.

To see this in action, go to:

Any ideas about how to clean up the codes to make them more universally accessible?



Thanks in advance.

Showed up fine on Netscape 4.61. (I think that's what I have. Just upgraded last week.)

Well, I have Netscape 3.0 and 4.05. It does not show up these browsers.

Hmm...very odd.

I went to your link and the picture didn't show. It looks like its something with the HTML coding. I didn't have time to look too closely, but it looks like it may be one of those IE specific things created by FrontPage.

Ah...I do not use Front Page with my DBMAN scripts. The codes posted in my first posting is what I am using for the images. Also, the problem is not with Internet Explorer browsers, but Netscape.



But, thanks for your suggestion.

I just ran the page you linked to on validator. If you are using Frontpage to do the HTML, you will have nothing but problems. Here are some of the basic errors I found.
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" with="100%"> width

<td valign="top" bgcolor="DDDDDD"> "#DDDDDD"

I set it for 100 max errors and it just went halve way through the page and quit.

IE is very forgiving on a lot of HTML errors, but netscape and opera are not.
Get a copy of "Homesite". I use both 4.01 and 3.0. The older version is excellent for dbman for it works well with cgi/pl, and can validate the 3.2 HTML with out getting into the new 4.0 HTML.

I am NOT using Front Page or any other Editor for DBMAN. I just stated that!



I appreciate your input though. I will look over the codes and see what I come up. Thanks for everyone's input. I appreciate it.

But don't you think it is weird that everything else in the page shows up correctly except for the image!

Regards,

Eliot,
I guess the web bots and image map on top is what made me believe you where using FP. Sorry about that. You must be using an NT server with frontpage extensions.

Try this
|<img src="$rec{'Logo'} alt=$rec{'Organization'} border=0">|

Hi Elliot!

I run the following browsers:

IE5 and NS4.08.

The image did not show up under either browser.

Ah...No, again! I use MapEdit, which creates webbots for Client Side Image Maps that can run on UNIX servers, not only NT. So, your assumptions are incorrect, stumbles.

Hello, Ian...again, the problem is not Internet Explorer, but lower beta versions of Netscape. Thanks for testing it though, I really appreciate it.



This is really odd.

Eliot,

Those web bot image maps don't work on the servers I use. I just tested it.
O well... I must be to anti-bill.

They work on my UNIX-Apache1.2.4.

But the topic is not the Image Map, the Topic is the broken image from the database that is not showing up on all browsers.
