img src 'stripped' from code - only on one PC

[bill]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

On a particular PC certain parameters are being 'stripped' from the source
code.



Here is the actual code (as originally written and when viewed in a
browser):

<div id="content">

<a href="images/kitchen.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="
images/tNail/kitchen.jpg " width="120" height="90" border="0"
class="right"></a>

</div>



Here is the code when the source is viewed on this particular PC:



<div id="content"

<a href="images/kitchen.jpg" target="_blank></a>

</div>



As you can see, the "img src" parameters, together with the class have been
removed. This is not due to a problem with the actual site, but only occurs
on this particular PC (and is not browser-specific, as it happens in both
I.E. and Firefox).



All the Internet setting (control panel and each respective browser) look
fine to me and now I have no idea where else to look.



This PC is running XP Home (SP2).

Does the machine have Norton Internet Security installed? Perhaps some
other "banner ad" blocker? I can say for sure that this is what Norton does
what it detects something it determines is a banner ad... It completely
removes the coding for that particular image. That is how it prevents them
from being shown... Other programs may use the same technique...

You were completely correct!

Norton's "Ad Blocker" was enabled on that particular PC. As the images were
of a standard size (120 x 90) and had a link associated with each image, it
was obviously considered to be an advert and therefore blocked. Diabling Ad
Blocking solved the problem, but I assume that someone else, somewhere in
the World, would also have this enabled, which would screw up the site. I
therefore changed the image dimensions (only in the code, not the actual
image) to 120 x 89. Now, even with Ad Blocking enabled, the images are
rendered perfectly.

Thanks for your help.

You are MOST welcome... I have come across this problem MANY times on other
sites where I had to customize Norton's Ad Blocking in order to make use of
features of a site, or to even access some sites for that matter...

If I frequent the site often, I dig-in and customize, otherwise I
temporarily disable it until I am done with the site...

Fortunately this was noticed when viewing one of my own sites, so I was able
to make the small adjustments to the source.
