| Re: [IE7] "Show image download placeholders" option has no effect Hi Patrick, That is because the missing picture is not a picture (image file). Right click on the place holder and select properties. You will see that it is looking for http://www.lightcrafts.com/forums/im...hin_header.gif Copy and past the above url into your browser address bar and press enter. Ha... WTF? What you are seeing is not a image place holder, but a blocked activeX placeholder. Image placeholders have a multi-colored box inside a square. ActiveX placeholders have a red X inside a square. You can see this yourself if you uncheck 'Show Pictures' on the Advanced tab of Internet Options and then refresh (Ctrl+F5) the page. Image placeholders will be substituted for the blocked images. The placeholder on the top Left hand side remains a red X. Regards.

| Re: [IE7] "Show image download placeholders" option has no effect Hi Rob, Thanks for answering. > That is because the missing picture is not a picture (image file). How could one (or IE7) determine this since the file is missing anyway? > http://www.lightcrafts.com/forums/im...hin_header.gif Copy and > past the above url into your browser address bar and press > enter. I already did that. This just brought me to an error page that told me that the document was missing. > What you are seeing is not a image place holder, but a blocked activeX > placeholder. I do not agree. I just made a test with an HTML document containing images. I have deleted one of the images referenced by an IMG tag in the HTML source file. IE7 still displayed the box with the red cross. No ActiveX Control involved in this page. > Image placeholders have a multi-colored box inside a > square. This applies only when you have unchecked "Show Pictures". Otherwise, when an image is missing, you get the box with the red cross. But normally, when the above mentioned option is unchecked, you should get the replacement text only, as in Firefox. Cheers. -- Patrick |

| Re: [IE7] "Show image download placeholders" option has no effect Hi, I see a placeholder with a red X on the top left hand side with the caption Light Crafts Forums... the page is in the Internet Zone where I have 'Open files based on content not extension' enabled, all Multimedia options on the Advanced tab are enabled. I think ActiveX is the wrong description, the site is written in Python. Right-clicking on the placeholder and selecting Properties shows the following url http://www.lightcrafts.com/forums/im...hin_header.gif (note: not clicking the placeholder) Here is the top of the source for that 'gif' url <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta name="keywords" content= "photo editing, lightzone, lightcrafts, photoshop, lightroom, aperture, bibble, ansel adams, photo, color correction, exposure, SLR, photographer, photo, foto" /> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="robots" content="all" /> <meta name="generator" content="RapidWeaver" /> <meta name="generatorversion" content="3.6.7 (2691)" /> <link rel="icon" href="http://www.lightcrafts.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.lightcrafts.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> <title>Light Crafts :: Error occurred</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="../rw_common/themes/LC%20small/styles.css" /> <!-- <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="%pathto(print.css)%" /> --> <!-- <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="handheld" href="%pathto(handheld.css)%" /> --> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href= "../rw_common/themes/LC%20small/css/sidebar/hide.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href= "../rw_common/themes/LC%20small/css/header/image3.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" --------------------------------------------------------------------- Note there are no Body tags and also there is raw Python code! Looks like it is used as a tracking component. Perhaps Privacy settings may be effecting how it is desplayed. But Oh well.... IE is doing the right thing by its Advanced settings. Regards.

Hi, Thanks, I usually do this but this was a general and possibly final append to this thread. No need to quote everything. -- Patrick Philippot MainSoft Consulting Services www.mainsoft.fr |
