Extremely Weird IE Problem (Images Not Displaying)

[kraftomatic]

Hey Guys,

I've got a page setup and of all the machines I've viewed it on, there are 2 machines running IE that are not displaying images at all. The URL is www.fast48.com/sponsors.php. Under "Official Sponsors" you should see sponsor logos (images) to the right of each sponsor. However on these 2 machines, nothing displays. Upon viewing the source code, the source has completely removed the image tag altogether, which is extremely weird.

This is what the source should look like:

<ul class="features">
			<li>
				<p class="sponsorHeader">Woodcraft Race Products</p>
				<a href="http://www.woodcraft-cfm.com" rel="external" title="Woodcraft Race Products"><img src="images/sponsors/woodcraft.jpg" width="85" height="50" alt="Woodcraft Race Products" class="logo" /></a>
				Specializing in clip-ons, engine covers, frame sliders, race stands, rearset kits, tire warmers and more.
			</li>
			<li>
				<p class="sponsorHeader">Suomy Helmets</p>
				<a href="http://www.suomyusa.com" rel="external" title="Suomy Helmets"><img src="images/sponsors/suomy.jpg" width="85" height="50" alt="Suomy Helmets" class="logo" /></a>
				Suomy has the highest safety standards in the industry and the best looking helmets on the market.
			</li>
			<li>
				<p class="sponsorHeader">Spears Enterprises</p>
				<a href="http://www.spearsenterprises.com" rel="external" title="Spears Enterprises"><img src="images/sponsors/spears.jpg" width="85" height="50" alt="Spears Enterprises" class="logo" /></a>
				Longtime leader in building fast and reliable twin-cylinder motors - especially the SV650 and SV1000.
			</li>
</ul>

This is what it looks like from one of the machines that doesn't display the images (notice the IMG tags missing):

<ul class="features">
			<li>
				<p class="sponsorHeader">Woodcraft Race Products</p>
				<a href="http://www.woodcraft-cfm.com" rel="external" title="Woodcraft Race Products"><img src="http://www.fast48.com/images/fast48.jpg" alt="" /></a>
				Specializing in clip-ons, engine covers, frame sliders, race stands, rearset kits, tire warmers and more.
			</li>
			<li>
				<p class="sponsorHeader">Suomy Helmets</p>
				<a href="http://www.suomyusa.com" rel="external" title="Suomy Helmets"></a>
				Suomy has the highest safety standards in the industry and the best looking helmets on the market.
			</li>
			<li>
				<p class="sponsorHeader">Spears Enterprises</p>
				<a href="http://www.spearsenterprises.com" rel="external" title="Spears Enterprises"></a>
				Longtime leader in building fast and reliable twin-cylinder motors - especially the SV650 and SV1000.
			</li>
			<li>
				<p class="sponsorHeader">Barnett Clutches</p>
				<a href="http://www.barnettclutches.com" rel="external" title="Barnett Clutches"></a>
				At the forefront of clutch design for 40+ years, Barnett has won more races and set more records than any other brand.
			</li>
</ul>

Has anyone seen this before? It's like IE is completely blocking out the IMG tag from the server before even getting to the browser. Neither of these computers are running anything weird. They're both modern computers with the latest version of IE. I've tried disabling any antivirus/antispam software and nothing seems to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

change this into

<img src="images/sponsors/woodcraft.jpg" width="85" height="50" alt="Woodcraft Race Products" class="logo" />

This:

<img src="images/sponsors/woodcraft.jpg" width="85" height="50" alt="Woodcraft Race Products" class="logo" >

You made an extra "/" at the end I think.It's somthing I never seen before and im kinda new at this. If I am wrong please excuse me.

I would also like to state that you live or work around where i live with the kart place.

fasterthanyouex, in XHTML, all elements must be closed. That closing slash is used to close elements that do not have a separate end tag and shouldn't be causing any problems.

kraftomatic, the images display fine for me in Internet Explorer 6. My guess would be that you have an ad-blocking utility blocking the directory called "sponsers" with a filter along the lines of */sponsers/*. This could be an anti-adware, anti-spyware, or anti-virus program; try disabling certain security programs or change the directory name to something not commonly used for ads.

That's a good point Arb, thanks - all the blocked images are in that one directory. I want to say I've heard of that happening before ( a certain directory being blocked altogether), so I'll try changing the directory and see if that helps anything.

fasterthanyouex - cool, yeah Kart 2 Kart is a sponsor of mine. I've known those guys for sometime.
