Hello everyone!<br />
<br />
I hope this is the right place to ask this question.<br />
<br />
While using my ADSL connection, some of the images are broken on somesites. For example, none of the images on yahoo mainpage loads properly, they are all broken. When I use dialup on the same computer, same browser, same everything, images are there, problem disappears.<br />
<br />
I have contacted my ADSL ISP, "very strange" was their only comment, no help.<br />
<br />
I dont now if this is a clue or not but:<br />
This doesn't load (which is on top of yahoo.com):<br />

But this one loads:<br />

<br />
Another example site with the same problem: gettyimages.com When I make an image search, all thumbnails are broken. When I click on the thumbnail, image itself appears without problem. When I do the same thing with dialup, everthing is fine.<br />
<br />
I have win98SE and explorer6. Yesterday I installed netscape, but the result was same.<br />
<br />
BTW, "Show Picture" also doesn't help.<br />
<br />
Any ideas? Thanks in advance...<!--content-->do you have a firewall? check the setting on there if you do. soem can block images<!--content-->I find that happens whenever the site does not properly<br />
define the height and width elements within the image<br />
tags. If height and width are defined, it allows the<br />
browser to reserve that spot on the page while it<br />
continues to parse the rest of the code. Once all of the<br />
code is read and the text is loaded, the browser will<br />
return and load the images.<br />
<br />
What you are seeing is the spot on the page the images<br />
were to appear has collapsed and can no longer fit the<br />
image. However, once the images are cached, they will load<br />
as the page code is parsed. In short, you need to reload<br />
the page so the images fill their intended spot on the<br />
page before the document is completely written.<br />
<br />
I would assume that you did not have this problem on dial<br />
up simply because it was so much slower parsing the page.<br />
and this allowed the images to load before the page was<br />
completely written.<br />
<br />
I suffer the same problem. For example, whenever I first<br />
visit this forum, many of the message icons fail to appear<br />
on first page load. Note that the height and width are not<br />
defined.<br />

<br />
Next time this happens to you, Refresh the page and see if<br />
that doesn't help. If you are really curious. View the<br />
source code and check if image height and width was<br />
defined.<br />
<br />

I never see those images. They are all adverts and spam using up my limited bandwidth.<br />
<br />
In Mozilla I have right-clicked on all those banner ads, and selected the block all images from this server option.<!--content-->
