I've gotten complaints from anyone using IE that half of my pictures do not show up on my site. But when viewed on Fire Fox everything loads correctly, does anyone know what might be causing the problem?

Do you have a link to the page? Are the pictures placed in the site using anything other than plain vanilla image links? <img src="url"> style?

Yes, it's all well and good to say IE is bad, but it's also THE most widely used browser by a good margin. It's unfortunately not an option to ignore it.

Yeah I agree on Fire Fox being much better. The code really isn't an image problem, but a background picture problem. The code I was using is for a table with a background image, but the image doesn't show up. It's weird because I have another table with a different image background that does show up in IE. The page isn't up yet, I'm just previewing it in both browser so I can't really link it to you. Here's the code if it helps:
Code: <body>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="center">
<table width="620" height="1125" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#A81302">
<tr bordercolor="#000000" background="Picture Files/header.jpg">

By the way Dan, I own that shirt. Wink

I don't think you can technically put a background in a table row. Try putting it in a <td> instead.

Also, I see that you're using an image url which includes both spaces, and uppercase characters. It's general practice to avoid mixing case, though it doesn't actually matter. Using spaces is a bad idea though. It can cause no end of little problems here and there.

I got another question regarding a problem on this site I'm designing and didn't feel like making another topic so I'll just post it here. Anyways, I'm using a font on my site called SF Fedora. The problem lies in the fact that I can only see this font when I view the site on my computer (whenever I see it on anyone else's computer it's just a plain Times New Roman type font). I was thinking maybe it was because I had the font downloaded on my computer, and that it wasn't on the other computer I saw the site on. Am I limited to only using the fonts windows comes with? Any help is appreciated.

Yes, for all intents and purposes you have to stay within the default font set. You can use a custom font, and specify a secondary font using CSS, but it's better to stick with one that everyone has.

There are a few ways of embedding fonts in the site, but they're usually somewhat tricky. I've never bothered.

... and obviously if it's just for a title or something, you could always rasterize the font into a jpg or gif that everyone can read.

Watch out though - if you save it as a picture it isn't crawlable through Google - and thus your site won't show up in it's search as much. Only text is searchable. Make sure you put the full text in the ALT tag if you go ahead with that route.
