image issues

[Mclaren]

So i am using Visual Studio web developer to design my webpages.

all is well and when i view the files from my local machine the webpages look and act fine. as soon as i post them i have the following:

On opera, all is well
On internet explorer, some images are moved and some images are too big.

i am not sure if i can post my website link, (it is business related) but i cannot figure it out and need some help.

You have some random javascript text on the http://www.lenzaluworx.co.za/company.htm page above the "About" header. And on the http://lenzaluworx.co.za/terms.htm page. And on the http://lenzaluworx.co.za/contact.htm page.
Clicking on the Products links does nothing except reload the page you're currently on.
I don't know if it's just me sitting across the pond, but your site loads slower than expected.
Not sure why you're images aren't loading, soz, but the images that are visible on the site looks awrite.

fire fox looks okay too.

As for the random crap. I used another website as a template. Still working on it to make it as much of my own as possible.

I am not sure what all that stuff means, so i have left it in for now.

I see the pages load slow. Is there something i can do to fix this.
I am thinking of removing all javascripts from the pages. and not having a drop down list for the products, i think i will rather have a page that lists all the products and from there once you click on a product it will take you to the necessary product page. do you think the dropping of the javascript will speed up the load times ?
I am trying to make the CSS files smaller as there is a lot of stuff in them that is not needed.

When I try to use 'View Image' on one of the jpg images that doesn't show, I get a 'Not Found' error message.

Are you sure that the jpg images are in the correct folder and named correctly? That's the only thing I can think of that can causes that.

Edit: I found another possible cause. In IIS, you can add request filtering, which is meant to block access to certain types of files, like the code files. It might be that the .jpg extension has been added to this list. In IIS7, it's under 'Request Filtering' on the site settings.

not sure, cause i have created a test page (which will soon replace the original index page:

www.lenzaluworx.co.za/test.htm

on this page my jpgs work fine. both pages are using the same style sheets etc, all the files are in the correct places and named correctly.

i am busy running through the code to see if there is something amiss.


I will find the error. i am very new to this so its a learning curve.

Err, I posted in response to your other thread. My mistake

For the differences in size and positioning of the images (that display), that's likely due to differences in web browsers.

http://www.w3schools.com has a lot of good tutorials and reference pages, so take a look at that. They also explain differences between browsers for each tag and what properties aren't supported (like IE and inherit).

As for the jpegs not displaying, I'm a bit stumped. Only other thing I can think of is that the user account that the server uses doesn't have access to those images. But it is odd that certain images display and others do not.

Edit: Fixed URL

@endev, its cool, at least i can get all the info here in one thread.

i have picked up another issue. on ie 6, my styles on the test page cause the PNG's transparnce to disappear. again all is fine on ie 8, opera, ff.

it seems like an issue when trying to satisfy all browsers. what work in 1 might not work in another.

i will get it licked though. i am enjoying this, and its quite a cool learning curve.

in total i have probably spent no more than 50 hours working on the website with 0% knowledge prior and i have already learnt so much.
