[pmwiki-users] image url problem?

[John Coxon]

Overheard on one of my favorite forums:

"I don't know what I have missing or what I am doing wrong but I have 
never been able to see any pictures in your links. I get to an index on 
your web site but never can get further when trying to access any of 
the subjects. Do you have any ideas what I may be doing wrong"

"The only way I can see them on his site is to go to File >> Print 
Preview on the Internet Explorer menu... but then the other links in 
the pages don't work..."

"I was having the same problem, but I noted if I scrolled down far 
enough the pictures appeared. Maybe you will have same luck."

"I can't get the photos to show on Sedgewood's page either. Tried 
turning the pop-up blocker off but that didn't help."

"Odd that you are having problems. I use Linux and occasionally have 
problems when some web author does things the IE way, instead of the 
HTML standards way, but in this case I don't have any problem, and I 
tried four different browsers to boot. All work perfectly on his site."

"I don't have any pictures on the pages, either, but they do appear in 
the Print View also."

What a way to discover your site is broken :-) Here's the page they are 
looking at:

  http://www.coxontool.com/ptwiki/index.php/Attachments/BoxBlade

And the contents of the edit box for the page:

Which sends to the browser:

> <div id='wikitext'>
> <p>4/16/02
> </p><p class='vspace'></p>
> <p>Bush Hog SBX720 BoxBlade s/n 1200181 - $549.00 plus tax, purchased

I suspect those having problems are using an older version of IE for 
Windows. How should I be formatting the image URL?

BTW, their comments are based on my site running v2.0 beta 38. I just 
upgraded to v2.0 beta 52, which is what you see sent to the browser 
above.

Thanks in advance,
John
