I've just had word that the images (screencaps and thumbnails) at my site are inaccessible, or show up broken.
I had a look, but all the images are showing up for me in both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, so I have no idea what's going on. (The person who emailed me also uses Firefox.)

Can anyone take a quick look and tell me if anything looks wrong from your end? I'd really appreciate it.

I'm at work, so I was only able to check it with IE, but everything looked fine. If I remember, I'll check with Netscape and Firefox when I get home tonight.

Thanks! That's very helpful.

I just looked with Mozilla, and everything was fine. Was it Bith by any chance? She emailed me last night saying she couldn't see the LtLJ what's new page, and it looked fine to me. I think she's having a connectivity problem.

Thanks! No, it's not Bith. I think it must be either a problem at the server (hers or Squidge's) or something to do with the .htaccess file. Hmm.

It all looks good from here - Windows, Firefox.

Good to know - thanks!

A-OK in Opera.

I noticed before that the first releases of Firefox actually were rather sucky in rendering HTML.
If a page doen't have the specific infoline in top stating that it's HTML, it expects the page to be XML.
This means that you need closing tags for all tags.
including <P>, <BR> and <IMG>

I understand the later versions fixed this though

[marycrawford.livejournal.com]

Whoa. I didn't even know the img tag had a closing tag? And I thought I was anal because I insisted on closing all P tags. Good heavens.

I do have this at the top, though: "!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"

Thanks for the help!

Mary, pondering

It's <IMG src="URL goes here" alt="alternative text" />

The slash before the closing > marks it as a one-shot open-and-close tag.

[science-vixen.livejournal.com]

The DOCtype flag in top should be enough.

Single-tags is pretty standard in HTML. Besides, it's specified as a standard in the documentation of W3C.

They pulled up fine from my end on Firefox. The server seems to be running a little slow, but that's about it.
