Hi all,

I'm having a bit of a problem at the moment with DWMX2004. Ok, here goes:

I insert an image (made either in FWMX2004 or P/shop) onto my page. I can view the image fine in DW, but when I upload to the server, the image has dissapeared (image has been uploaded).

I'm not getting a gray box with red cross like normal, the image is just not being rendered by the browser.

The most interesting thing is that when I view the source code to the page from my browser, the img tag isn't there at all!!!

If I place other images either side of the one I want displayed, the browser renders both images fine, but completely ignores the image I want displayed.

I've tried IE6, Netscape 7.2 and Firefox 1.0.2, and all with the same result.

Is this a bug in DW2004? Has anyone else had this problem?

Any answers or ideas would be really helpful, as I'm about to uninstall and re-install DW to see if that helps.

I have had some FTP up issues with DW, rarely, but I have seen it <i>not</i> overwrite a file when I push it up. If your server also has replication delay, this will truely increase the delay. Also, if someone is accessing that page right before you update it, it may still be in the servers' memory.

Give it a minute, then when you're really mad, use another FTP program to see if that was buggin' out.

Hi Chris,

I'm looking at the site on a local server set up on my hard drive, so there is no replecation delay at all. I checked the timestamp on the uploaded file and it is the new one, so not an ftp issue. Cleared the cache, so it serves the new page.

I tried the files on another machine running the same set up since this post, and there was no problems at all. The image was uploaded and rendered in the browser, so I probably need to uninstall / reinstall DW.

I thought that would be the case, but also thought it would be an idea to post the problem here in case anyone else has had the same.

Oh well, off it comes...!!

Thanks for your reply Chris.

For everyone's information.

The problem has now been fixed. After reinstalling DW, FW, Photoshop on 2 machines, it turns out that the latest update from Norton was the cause.

We use Norton Internat Security 2005 and up until now I have found it to be reliable, up to date and generally good all round. The latest update will remove images if they are a certain size, or placed in a certain folder. I created an image of 300 x 250, placed it on the page in DW, all is fine. I upload it and try to view it (with IE, FF & NS) and the whole IMG tag has been removed from the page.

After reinstalling and scratching my head I turned Norton off, and hey presto, the images were back!!

I'm a bit annoyed that Norton does this, and that they don't inform people as to what the updates will do, but anyway that's not important now. I just thought I'd put this post in case anyone has the same strange browser behaviour.

WOW! Sad, but glad you figured out what was the culprit! <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
