What might cause this ad problem?

    On my webzine - www.audioxposure.com - on any internal page, in the right column, there should be a large banner for blue beam radio (under limelight radio I believe). I can see it find in IE and AOL, but not in Firefox. The person who sent the banner said they can't see it at all; only the little red image error 'x'.

    I just insert the images through FP 2003's wysiwyg editor, and add the hyperlink. I did this one the same as the others which are displaying ok. If anyone has any idea why this one might not be showing up, I'd appreciate it. I can't figure out where I screwed it up. :(

    Thanks!

    Your first, last and middle screwup was using FP. :)

    
    <img src="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Jenn/Desktop/audioxposure/images/advertising/bluebeamradio2.jpg" border="0" height="300" width="160">
    Code (markup):
    Notice you're referencing a local file, not one accessible on the web. Change it to reflect its address on the server. Compare to the limelight image;
    
    <img border="0" src="../images/advertising/limelightad.jpg" width="120" height="275">
    Code (markup):
    You would be better served were you to install Apache, and work from a mirrored directory tree.

    cheers,

    LOL yeah, I know. 2003 got at least a bit better though. ;) I use Dreamweaver or run everything through a cms for most sites, but I got caught up with FP early on w/ this one and opted not to switch. Maybe I'll switch w/in the month when the new design goes up. I'm glad you pointed it out, or I wouldn't have thought to do it. ;)

    I appreciate the help. No idea why I'd add them the same and they'd come up differently though. :( I'll change it and hope for the best. :) Thanks!
