Re: OT (sorry) bizarre browser/site behavior

YIKES! That's a cool answer. We'll experiment. Thanks.

It's not XP related at all. It's Norton. It has ad-blocking in it and it
doesn't like your directory name "ads-magz." It assumes that's an ad and
blocks it. Try changing the directory to something that absolutely won't
sound like an ad and see if that does the trick.

We've noticed that people running a combination of either version of
XP AND Norton Internet Security have trouble seeing JPG's on certain
websites.

One such page is http://www.mksound.com/index.htm .

In its various changes and updates, it's been nothing but a pix in a
table with a couple of lines of text; right now it has some CSS
attached to it, AND a couple of javascript menus, but that doesn't
seem to make a difference. If we put the plain picture in one table
on the page the problem still exists.

There are no cookies; various engineers assure me it isn't the
host(ing) and I'm stumped. The only option seems to be to pay for
Symantec support.

I have no trouble on the 8 machines around me, but I called a few
people, some of whom have 4 x XP machines (2 with and 2 without
N.I.S.) and the problem seems to be repeatable.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Hiya, urrm can anyone help me, do you know a version of Dreamweaver that is compatible with widows XP i just downloaded MX and it says its not compatable

As far as I know, no version of Dreamweaver is compatible with windows ME.
And you shouldn't tag onto another thread like this or no one will ever see
your question. Try posting it as a new posting and see if anyone here knows
more than I do on this one.

Well we changed the names of both the files and the folder (got rid of the word "ad") and now THAT
works. And so does the link to the PDF on that front page which also had the word "ad" in it ---
and had the word ad on the folder name. HOW ANNOYING!

That still doesn't explain why there are still other JPG's which are blocked by NIS, which have no
such profiled references. Unbelievable.

Which JPEGS? What are their sizes? Ad blockers also block certain "standard"
ad banner sizes. I've heard of 120x120 pixel sizes, 150 pixel, sometimes
250, I think. If any are like that, resize them by about 5 pixels and see if
that helps.
