Hi :)

I've been working on this new website for our family business (You can tell I'm no web-designer!!!). I've made it on a Mac and it shows up fine on Firefox and Safari, but Internet Explorer seems to have a problem on the PC.

Would anyone (preferably with PC/Internet Explorer) please be able to check whether the red banner on the homepage shows up, or just has a little red cross? It's also a link for the pricelist download, but I haven't had any issues with that.

Many thanks!! :D

Yep, red cross, but the download link works to the pdf.
 
I was a little curious what I'd see when I got there though, had visions of ladies in thongs ;)
 
PC with IE8 - red cross no red banner (link still works).
PC with Opera v10.63 - red banner shows up.

(ninja'ed!)
 
I'd be inclined to rename the file and update the site code to reflect this and see what happens, I've memory of this happening for me and that's what I ended up doing but never sure why it was happening.
 
Using Chrome, it automatically seems to capitalise the filename to "Pricelistnowavailable.jpg" Trying that in IE8 doesn't work either.

You have to remember that web browsers are case sensitive, so you need to put in links and image names exactly as they are including capital letters etc.

I'd try what NRY suggests, and rename the image something else, and update the code.
 
Thanks, I'll try renaming it. I'm only using a very simple program though (mrsite), so all I do is click "insert image" > then upload from hard drive. Everything else is automated. There is an HTML editor option, so I'll have a look and try to make sense of it! It can get a little jumbled doing it when using the basic version, and I'm not particularly HTML-literate!

Cheers
 
Try this...

Code:
<div align="center"><a href="http://www.me-strings.co.uk/Instrument Pricelist Download.pdf"><img src="http://www.me-strings.co.uk/userimages/pricelistnowavailable.jpg" border="0" height="94" width="504"></a></div>

I've ditched the alt="" tag and also a / from the end of the img tag (after where it says width="504")
 
IE can't load the image even direct as above, so changing the website code isn't the solution, can you link me to another image on the site?
 
I'll give that a go in a bit, thanks for all the help!

I've just been going through the HTML editor and deleted around 50 lines and fragments that were doing absolutely nothing whatsoever but confusing me, and visually it hasn't changed a bit. I'm starting to make sense of it!

Saying that, it's automatically adding in <blockquotes> thingamies - what do they doing?
 
As you did change the file/filename and this now works, I can only assume an issue with the picture file itself and not the website coding :)
