    What´s with FF2.0, it doesn´t show the thumbnails in here
    http://www.hdaddy.net/uusepis/keikkakuvia.php

    But IE shows them right.

    All the paths are correct..Dunno what wrong. Can you help me.

    And don´t mind the over 200 errors on the page. I will clean them, or could be the errors why FF doesn´t show the thumbs.

    Thanks in advance.

    Ps. Happy New Year 2009 !

    You have the wrong type of slash in the images path ...

    You use backslash ( \ ) instead of slash ( / )

    so this

    Code (markup):
    should be

    as to why: the backslash '\' is the filesystem delimiter in Windows.

    the slash '/' is the filesystem delimiter on every other operating system (unix, mac, linux, skyos) and also the standard for the internet (which is designed around unix)

    It shouldn't have worked on windows, except that since Explorer is also a file-browser it has custom coded support for the windows backslash in addresses.

    Also, since you're a windows-based developer be sure that you mind your cases. Uppercase and Lowercase are the same on Windows because it is case-insensitive. On windows 'a.jpg' and 'A.jpg' are the same file, as is 'a.JPG' but those could be three different files on any other system, and the internet.

    Good luck, I sure wouldn't want to be doing web design on a backwards system. I use Mac and Linux and I definitely recommend them to any developer or professional who requires a solid production envrionment. You honestly have no concept of the difference until you fully comprehend them.
