I have several users that have a problem with images not showing up correctly in posts. What happens is that they only see about the first inch or so of the image. This seems to be happening since installing 8.02. Here is a screen shot from a user. The correct image should be about 5 inches tall. Any ideas? Thanks Russ  |

This will be a CSS problem, but without knowing what browser it is that your user is using I can not do tests to find a solution to this issue. Could you findout what browsers is being used and on what platform? ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

A user on my board has narrowed it down to the forum_posts.asp page. Line 917 <td valign="top" height="150" class="msgLineDevider"> I removed the height="150" and the problem goes away. And all still looks ok with other browsers. SBC Yahoo is a version of IE I believe. Any ideas? Thanks Russ |

The problem russnj2, is if you remove that line then the tables containing the posts are not formatted correctly. You end up getting the post with only 1 or 2 lines in the middle of the table with 2 lines above and below them, with the 'IP logged' icon halfway up the side. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

The height="150" is the part I am on about. Just look at the following post on your site now you have made the change:- http://66.70.101.194/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=520&PID=2407#2407 The post is in the middle instead of at the top, with the lines at the top and bottom wrapped tightly around the text in the middle, it shouldn't appear like that. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Could you also find out what exact browser they are using? If it is something totally uncommon it maybe a case they need to upgrade their browser. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

As this is not an OS that has been supported by MS for a long time, and an uncommon browser, I can not even setup a test platform to test this on. I think it best to ask this user to upgrade their browser to the latest version of IE or Firefox. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I've got to think that that's an ie v4 browser. No support for css height or width. The forum won't be the only site the user is having trouble with. Most designers are dropping ie 4 and netscape 4 compatibility as so few people are still using them.

Legacy support for IE 4 and Netscape 4 support was finally dropped from version 8 of web wiz forums as the number of people still using these browsers are like 0.01% This allowed improved page rendering speeds, smaller pages files, less bandwidth, easier to implement skins, and better support for CSS and XHTML. As browsers are generally free, it seems silly not to upgrade to a newer version. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

The user was running win 95 though. MS dropped support for that some time ago. I doubt that there's a browser upgrade available. I don't even know if firefox will run on it.

| For what it's worth, "height" isn't valid HTML for a table, row or cell tag. A couple of ways around it would be to add the value as a style, or use a 1×1 pixel transparent image set to 125 height and put that in the cell. |

You will only get this issue in IE if you have removed the XHTML document definition tag from the includes/browser_page_encoding.asp file:- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en"> If you remove this you will get the problem mentioned here. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

The line needs to be the first line at the top of the page, looking at your source code you have the following line at the top:- <!-- Jeg har fjernet Option Explicit --> This is preventing IE from loading in the XHTML DTD thus giving your site the problem you mention. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

As long as the line I mention is at the top, then IE will know to use it's XHTML engine to render the page.
