in thread Broken Images....I don't understand

I've tested on IE, Netscape, and FireFox. All the same. I see your's works, so I don't get why mine doesn't. You can see it here. If you want to review the source code, note that my site is contained within one big frame, so you will have to look at the source code for that frame. Could it be a configuration setting in apache? That doesn't make sense to me though.

    Are you sure the "image" exists? 

    $ HEAD http://www.***your-domain***.net/header_glow.jpg

      I don't know why you would have got that? The image exists there. I just place http://www.ballsandshaft.net/header_glow.jpg in my address bar and it came up fine. Also, I could right click on the broken image, say view image, and it would come up fine.

        It's quite simple how I got that. I showed you how I got that.

        The image exists there. I just place http://www.ballsandshaft.net/header_glow.jpg in my address bar and it came up fine.

        No, the image is not. Type the following in your browser's address bar:

        view-source:http://www.ballsandshaft.net/header_glow.jpg

        [download]

        (dunno if IE understands that though, moz does)

        Anyways, then you will see that you will get an HTML document (frameset, how nice) which loads the real file: http://pcp04397155pcs.nrockv01.md.comcast.net/header_glow.jpg

    Man that's wierd.
    I used your image link instead of mine and that doesn't work.
    Is it possible that the site hosting your image is protected against "leachers" ?
    (people using your content for thier own sites)
    Calling the image alone (right clicking) will send no HTTP_REFERER whereas your frameset does. My guess is that it would work from www.ballandshaft.net/cgi-bin, but that doesn't help much because you probably don't have a cgi-bin there.
    Try putting the image on the same server as your script.

      My domain provider, mydomain.com, uses one big frame to redirect people. So you get a frame on their server that that has a frame source to my actual computer, http://pcp04397155pcs.nrockv01.md.comcast.net. So therefore, anything with my domain in it is going to show up as a frame with what I actually needed, not the image itself. I changed the image source to my computer directly, all works now. Kinda sucks, anyone know any better domain providers that are cheap?

        What exactly is mydomain.com doing for you? If they're providing a dynamic DNS service that maps your domain to your cable/DSL IP address, Dynamic Network Services provides such a service for a price. I used them a couple of years back when I didn't want to remember the IP address of my cable modem.

        Alternatively, if you were interested in web hosting with a dedicated provider, there's a link in my bio to the company that I work for. Send us some e-mail and we'd be happy to give you a reasonable deal.

        Best of luck. :)
