Issue after switching from IE to Firefox

[RTMiller]

I recently switched from IE to Firefox. With IE my home page had a picture that changed as you moved your cursor around. With Firefox the images are not displayed. I don't have anything disabled as far as I can see. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Please put your SmugMug site in your "You!" profile (Dgrin page, upper left) so that those who can help you, will be able to do so :D

Now, that said, are you speaking of this page, actually? http://mywebpages.comcast.net/rtoddmiller/PhotoddgraphyHome.htm

Done. Thanks.

Yes that's the one. It works fine with IE. Just doesn't work with Firefox.

I checked out your site, and it appears that all the image urls that you are using are invalid.

see when you do something in smugmug to modify an image(cropping,zooming,rotating,etc), smugmug resaves the file with a different file extension.
ie...

so the first link (the one u linked) fails, but the second one work.

Hope this helps,

Done. Thanks.

You have external links turned off for this gallery:
http://rtmiller.smugmug.com/gallery/1348816

enable them, and you should be fine.

Thanks for the ideas. I turned on external links in all the galleries but it didn't solve the problem.

I don't think the urls are invalid either. They work in IE.

Check this out. This is strange... if I paste the link below in IE, the picture is diplayed. If I paste it in Firefox, it is not displayed. I'm confused.

OK looking further, stay tuned I'll be back to you later today I expect.

Are these images that were loaded in your cache in IE but not firefox?

If the image is in your cache, from visiting your site directly, for instance, then it will show up in the link as well, even if external linking is off, at least in my experience. But for the browser that never loaded it into the cache, it won't show up.

I just deleted all my Temporary Internet files and reloaded the page in IE. It worked fine...:dunno

[RTMiller]

I just put a "-1" after all the image links, i.e., http://rtmiller.smugmug.com/photos/63671407-S-1.jpg and nows it seems to be working.

That just doesn't make any sense at all.

Did you crop, rotate or color adjust the photo at all? We incriment the filename in such a case to defeat caching issues with most browsers... which would explain the issues you were having.

I have never used the Smugmug crop-rotate-adjustment tools. The real issue still seems to be why can IE read the image's address while Firefox cannot.

Andy (or anyone),
I'm still in limbo here. Everyone out there who is using Firefox is not able to view my site correctly and I don't understand why...???

If you go to www.photoddgraphy.com (http://www.photoddgraphy.com) using Internet Explorer everything works fine.

Can't see it in Safari, either, FWIW.

Frustrated with FirefoxIt's because of html errors on your part. Use an html validator to clean up your errors (I stopped when I saw that you use a td element without a table element so I'm sure there are more problems than that).

Also, quick xhtml and css lesson time. Use all lower case for your html and your CSS :deal Also when you use meta, link, img, br and maybe some others that I can't think of right now you need to close them by putting a slash at the end of them. Like this (add the red):

****** http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

[Mike Lane]

And also just looking at your dtd. You should change it from html 4.01 transitional to xhtml 1.0 transitional or xhtml 1.1 strict. That could definitely be affecting what you're trying to do.
