Looks like you don't need much more help but here it is...

Good results with IE 6.0, Netsacpe 7.1 and Opera 7.23

No problems at all...quite normal.

This error is the result of this URL: (among many many others)
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...dxwebsetup.exe



I get this very often...I can usually get into the 'root' of
these URL's but if I try to get beyond the root then the above
error shows. I get the same type of error with Netscape 7.1, it
says "This object has been blocked". It's driving me nuts, I've
tried removing all anti-virus stuff, all firewalls for tests,
I've been playing for weeks with parameters, nothing helps...any
advice?

Images.

Using IE6.

Red X's here, also using IE 6.

Under Opera 6.03 and Mozilla 1.2.1, I got images.

IE 5.1.7 gave me red exes.

All these on a Macintosh, if it matters.

This is a mirror of the Warbird's Forum website. When I look at it,
there are no images--only a Bill Gatesian red X where the image should
be. When the hosting company looks at the page, the images are there.
I went to the library and used one of the terminals there--no joy! But
perhaps the library and I are both using the same service provider.

I found zero red X's.

I was hoist by my own .htaccess file! (Don't ask...)

Many thanks. I got the problem fixed yesterday afternoon.


Images.

Red X's here, also using IE 6.

The webserver at 65.108.100.165 seems to have trouble with relative local
image URLs, like the "plain" filenames (i.e. without directory path and/or
"http://..." prefix) of the images.

Just so, Andreas. It is a mirror site (I'm changing hosts) and I
copied over everything, including the .htaccess file that blocks
people from hotlinking my images. Well, it turned out that the file of
course was written for the existing site, and it blocked the new one
as an interloper, even though the images were on the same site and in
the same directory.

It is very common these days among the mass-market servers
(MSN, AOL, RR, Geocities, Tripod, etc.) to disallow "remote loading"
of images. (It prevents "hijacking" someone else's images into
your page, for example.) Most often, they do this by checking
the "referer" webpage, which your browser sends during the HTTP
request. If it isn't inside the same hierarchy (MSN/owner webpage,
in this case) - it won't serve up images.

What we have here is a case where either:
- the "mirror" is trying to save disk space/bandwidth charges
by remote loading the images... OR
- the mirror's webpages are *exact* copies of the original,
and set the base webpage to MSN (instead of itself); the
mirror then denies serving up images because it appears
to be requested from a foreign base page: MSN, rather than
itself.

The coding is defective, and non-compliant with standards.
It doesn't matter if some very recent browsers (with massive
security holes) can overcome the defects.

The techno-yahoos will complain that everyone should upgrade
their browser to the latest-and-greatest "fault tolerant"
versions. Bull. If the website complied with the standards,
*no one* would experience difficulties with it.
