When loaded from my hard drive, the webpage I'm working on renders fine
on IE6, Firefox 2.0.0.1, and Opera 9.02. However, after uploading it to
the web there are 2 images that fail to display on those browsers. All
the other images and everything else on the page render just fine.
1.) I converted one of the gif images to a jpeg but that made no
difference.
2.) I validated the webpage offline using Tagcheck, and online using the
ww3.org validator. The only issues were the usage of Height and
Background attributes in the TD tag. But I've done that before with no
issues, and the tags for the missing images do not use either of those
attributes.
3.) The images uploaded OK to the ISP and show correct sizes of 12 and
23 KB respectively.
4.) When I right-click on the jpg image placeholder to check for
properties:
IE6 shows: ad3.jpg file (correct), type = gif (incorrect),
dimensions: 273x88 pixels (correct), size = 42 bytes (incorrect)
Firefox shows: ad3.jpg file (correct), no type specified,
dimensions: 273x88 pixels (correct), size = 42 bytes (incorrect)
Opera shows: ad3.jpg file (correct), type = gif (incorrect),
dimensions: 1x1 pixels (incorrect), size = 42 bytes (incorrect)
5.) I entered the full web address of the jpg image into each web
browser and got the following results:
IE6: Nothing appeared in the browser window
Firefox: Nothing appeared in the browser window, however the tab
showed "ad3.jpg (Gif image. 1x1 pixels)"
Opera: Nothing appeared in the browser window
6.) I called and asked my brother to load the webpage from his computer.
He says there are no images missing and correctly described both of them
to me.
7.) I rebooted my computer and tried again, but nothing changed.
It's as though 1x1 transparent gifs have been substituted for only those
2 images, and only when *I* load from the web. I have run out of ideas
as to why this is happening on my system. Any additional ideas for
troubleshooting will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My experience with watching people describe things in great detail
poorly as contrasted to gving access to what is being described with one
line or a link is that the greatly detailed inadequate description
sucks, and simple access to the real thing works.
If you can't give the people you are asking for help access to the real
thing, you should just work it out yourself or talk to someone/someplace
that you /can/ give access to the actual item.

Others have criticized me for the URL omission but it was intentional.
My original post indicated that the problem didn't happen when another
user launched the website remotely, so I didn't want to confuse the
issue. I was simply making a plea for general troubleshooting tips from
others who might be familiar with such a problem. It appears to be local
to my computer. Thanks anyway to all who replied.

One thing that might be causing it is that you have some ad-blocking
software on your computer's firewall, and either the image name or
size triggers this software, which replaces the image with a 1x1
transparent GIF. Naturally the majority of users will see the image
fine since they don't have this software.
