browser deleting a line of code?

I'm using dreamweaver MX (not 2004) and webdrive ftp client. In my site I used
templates and library items. When I preview the site in IE and Netscape (latest
versions) it looks great and all the code is there. After I ftp it up using
webdrive, again viewing it from the webdrive window-it looks great and all the
code is there. I close all my programs, view it live on Netscape and IE and
suddenly my main banner doesn't show up. When I view the source code an entire
line has been deleted. weird. I delete everything off the server and try again
and the same thing happens. weird. The line that disappears is this: img
name="banner" src="Library/banner.gif" width ="543" height="79" border="0" (I
took out the end symbols so it would appear in the message.)
The line of code disappears. I have other images that are called for just
like this and they are fine. The image is where it is supposed to be, I've
checked paths and they are all correct--it is deleting this line of code. I
didn't use layers in the template so that is not the issue-I used tables. Why
would it look okay on my machine and server and then delete a line of code when
it is live? Help I'm going nuts.

your code is beeing hijacked by your add blocker (Norton?), because you
named your image "banner". Your add blocker thinks it's a banner add,
and blocks it.
Change the name and it should work.

THAT'S IT!! thank you thank you!!
My god, I spent the whole day trying to figure this out and you knew in 5
seconds.
Is there a list somewhere of "words not to call your images" so I won't do
this again?

Thank you SOOOO much

Don't know of an official reference of names to avoid, I only picked up
this issue by chance, by following these very forums. I only know it
doesn't stop to names, but also apply to sizes, like maybe 320px wide
image is going to be blocked... weird things like that, that seem
random, because they've just been picked-up as "standard advertising
practices" by Norton or other add blockers... the word "advertising" is
to be banned also from any image name....
Anyway I'm glad I could help so far.

They're not random at all. Any file name or directory name that sounds like
an ad can be blocked, including banner, ad, click, and others. Take a look
at http://www.partscatalog.com/navnotice.htm

Also, standard ad banner sizes will be blocked. This can include 120x120 and
a host of others. Generally, if you change that to 123x123 you'd be okay.
Sizes known to be blocked by Norton include:

125x125
160x600
180x150
234x60
240x400
250x250
300x250
336x280
468x60
88x31
120x90
120x60
120x240

Norton should be sued for that.
This is not an acceptable solution to add blocking.
Nobody can accept that. There is no objectivity whatsoever to these
blocking parameters.
Plus, they are so easy to overcome from the point of view of add makers.
advertisers probably knew of that list 6 month ago anyways.
Anti-spam/add/viruses/spy/popup software are just getting ridiculous.

Norton shouldn't be sued. That's silly. The answer is simple -- do what I do
and don't use Norton. It's called "consumers choice."

(For the record, that's the least of the reasons I don't use Norton......)
