In the case of the ads, the ad site could be overloaded or down.

If the status line says "accessing doubleclick.net" you can be sure the trouble is not in your PC. That site is oversubscribed.

If the pictures are separately hosted (not on the same computer the web page is on), your browser security settings may be blocking the photos.

Show me the page that has the red X.

Most likely you are referencing the picture incorrectly.

for example:

<img src="http://nerdlib.com/images/Silver-468x60.gif">

That is correct way to reference remote image.

If the image was on that machine I would reference it like so:

<img src="/images/Silver-468x60.gif">

The second example says that the file is sitting in a folder called images on the root of
that website.

Hope this cleared things up for you.

Several reasons why you get red X:

1. If the photo is on your own computer, only you can read it (unless your own computer is a host with a purchased URL). You must upload your photo to your ISP's (Internet Service Provider's) host computer before other users can see it.

2. Make sure you made the photo file have read-access permission that is public. Otherwise, everyone will see a red X because they do not have permission to read the photo.

3. Check that the url you gave works no matter where the observing computer is located.

------

An absolute URL looks like this (a sample which really works):

http://mypage.iu.edu/~lrobins/multlook.gif

The - mypage.iu.edu - portion is the computer the image is on

The - ~lrobins - portion is the account (this appears only if the computer is a host with many accounts).

The - multilook.gif - portion is the filename.

The absolute URL has the complete description of the path needed to find the file. But note that if the website ever changes hosts (you found a cheaper place down the street), you have to change EVERY absolute URL link to any of your pages in your entire website. That's a lot of retyping.

Placed in HTML in a web page, the absolute URL looks like this (with the pointy brackets replaced with curly brackets to prevent actual activation):

{IMG SRC="http://mypage.iu.edu/~lrobins/multlook.gif"}

------

A relative URL locates the file relative to the page the observer's browser is currently reading. The page this little drawing is on is located at (this should really work too):

http://mypage.iu.edu/~lrobins/home.html

So the relative url, pointing relatively to the storage location of the page the photo is on, looks like (this example will not click, because we are now not really on that web page):

http://multlook.gif

Note that my photos are in the same folder as the web pages. If the photos were in a subfolder named "pix", it would look like (this won't click either, because no such location actually exists):

http://pix/multlook.gif

Placed in HTML in a web page, the picture URL fort the picture being in the same fiolder as the page looks like (again changed to curlies to prevent activation):

{IMG SRC="multlook.gif"}

Open the clickable web page said to really work above, and look at in View / Page Source. You will find the exact code in the line above in the page source, except that the curly brackets are replaced with pointy ones, and that two positioning tags are added after the SRC tag.

The one in the subfolder would look like:

{IMG SRC="pix/multlook.gif"}

Now if your website ever changes hosts, the only URLs which will have to change are the links others have made to your site from their sites. Your entire site becomes portabe with relative URLs.

The rule of thumb is:

- Use relative URLs to point to other pages and items in the same website.

- Use absolute URLs to point to pages on other websites.

It means the page has no image tags at all in the source code - no places to put a picture.

There are no red Xs either.

So either you deleted them, my firewall deleted them, or you told me the wrong page.

red x/images won't load problem -- tried fixes like cache/registry/javascript/encoding, tested the problem on multiple browsers (Opera9, IE7, Firefox2)

oldbob: Thank You!! Winsock XP fixed my problem too!! I have been looking for an answer for three weeks now and today I was determined to find the fix. I was ready to resort to an entire rebuild of my computer if my last google search didn't find the answer. Now I have time to go out and celebrate this and New Year's!

Thank You!! :-)
