I would offer money to solve this but I believe that is against forum rules.
I am stumped and would like to hear ANY suggestions no matter how wild.
I placed an URL on my friend's asp page (I tried both as an img src and also as a link href).
How I planted the URL is simple: all I did was I entered the html into a text box that he provided, and later retrived the text which he sends as open HTML.
He just echos it back on his asp page. He places whatever I enter in a data base, then usin an asp page, he echos it back later on request.
HTML usually should work (or fail) depending on whether the syntax is right (or maybe depending on browser imcompatibilities).
Well, all my users have the same browser - - IE 5.5.
The echo-back page is delivered the same to all users.
(A view source confirms that it is the same.)
But if the user has a NT machine, the link or image fails.
If the user has a Win2000 machine the same link or same image works.
Here is a sample piece of HTMP that I key into his text box, and is returned to me:
<p> Look at this one ...<p>
<img src="
returns as in a cell of one of his tables as exactly the same characyters I typed in.
<tr><td><font size = "4" style='color:navy;'>Descriptive Notes:<font color = "black">Look at this one ...<p>
<img src="
On W2000 & IE 5.5 ... all is well - the image displays.
On NT & IE 5.5... the image fails to show.
Why?
Any ideas??
The same thing happens to links!! They return 'page not found' errors .
