tearing my hair out......

On my website linked below, using Firefox and K-Meleon browsers, the images for the links load up fine, if I click the images and select image properties, the correct path to the image is shown.

On Interner Explorer however, the images don't load, and if I click image properties the path is to a differently named backup that I made of the site :confused:
(I have cleared temporary Int files and cookies on I.E BTW)

Any ideas, and if someone could just have a look using internet explorer to verify the images aren't loading, that would be much appreciated :)

http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~draggle/toptwentygood

Have checked on Opera, Firefox and K-Meleon....all images show fine.
Images do not show on IE.

It's here (http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~draggle/toptwentygood)...

I'm not an html expert, more of a techie, but maybe structuring the links differently?

eg instead of using

img src="free/powersmall.gif"

...try...

img src="/free/powersmall.gif"

...which should link relatively from the root directory of your webspace. Or failing that try absolute links, ie...

img src="http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~draggle/free/powersmall.gif"

which isn't ideal as it can get you into trouble if you want to move the page, but which should definitely work...

It's this that's doing it:

<base href="toptwentygoodbackup.html">

It tries to use that as a base href so it'll do http://toptwentygoodbackup.html/imagename.....

It doesn't need to be there I don't think.

I know that the images were visible in IE a week or so ago.

I assume that you have changed something.

Thanks everyone for your help :)

Where abouts in the code (roughly) is the <base href line probebd? ..... Can't see it.....

The fourth line in the source is
<meta name="keywords" content="free,software,downloads,download,spyware,firewall, ftp,k-meleon,firefox,opera,avg,zone alarm,core ftp,spyware blaster,search and destroy,cc cleaner,porta,spyware terminator,html editor,amsn messenger,anti virus,virus,"><base href="toptwentygoodbackup.html"></head><body bgcolor="#000000">


It's just before the closing head tag.

No probs :) Some editing software can stick it in sometimes.
