A friend has started a new group http://iysa.collectivex.com/main/summary

On his summary page he has included a photo in the main description area. In firefox and opera it displays at the right size but IE displays a huge photo!

Any suggestions?

Internet Explorer is definitely the "red-headed stepchild" of the internet these days.

My apologies to anyone who has red hair.

Anyways, I'll take a look into this.

I've noticed other people reporting problems with IE and the custom content areas.

Jonathan was having an issue with an embed tag not showing up.

Hey Gareth,

Your friends HTML looks like this for the image:

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/andy19363/city.jpg" alt="" />

The problem, is that he's not supplying a width and height for his image. This generally causes the browser to display the image at it's maximum width and height. I'm surprised that it's not doing it in all browsers. Has he scaled down the image, since this was reported?

Hi Joe

My mate changed his image and the current one views alright. However in both cases, he simply directed the browser to his photobucket account. I will get him to change it back to the photo that originally cause the problem and I will look for height and width information. I'll keep you posted

Cheers
Gareth

Actually - crisis averted - he changed back to the original "troublesome image" and it displayed fine in IE, opera and firefox. Not sure what happened there?? There was definitely a problem with the image initially (saw it with my own eyes) but perhaps he chose the wrong link from photobucket or IE's personality disorder has been fixed.
