I am seeing strange behavior while rendering photos within Internet Explorer versions: 6.0.2, & 7.0.5 and Firefox 3.05. on Windows XP SP3

Some photos are disappearing completely while others show up correctly. I have only seen this on Windows.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

You seem to created your site on a local server and then moved it to the webhost.

The path of the images path is still pointing to the localhost where it should be on the webshot.

For example your blog picture:

src=”http://127.0.0.1:8080/xanluna/images/stories/womenblog.jpg

Kindle edition:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/xanluna/images/stories/kindle1.jpg

Happy holidays:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/xanluna/images/stories/blog/happy_holidays.jpg

Pictures that work look like:
/images/resized/images/stories/blog/punk_59_90.jpg

so to fix change from:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/xanluna/images/stories/womenblog.jpg
to:
http://xanluna.com/images/stories/womenblog.jpg

Yes you are right! I created the complete setup and moved it from my localhost to the web server after testing was complete.

It is interesting as I checked the path on each of the missing photos at the web server and they appear to show the correct path statement from the web server.

this is why you should use relative instead of full urls on development server sites.
