[Web4lib] basic html question

[Wiegand, Laura K.]

One reason why a jpg will display in FF but not IE is if the image is in CMYK instead of RGB. Try opening the image in Photoshop or whatever graphics editing software you use, and see what the color mode is. In Photoshop, go to Image -> Mode. You'll see a check next to the current color mode. To change the mode, just choose RGB and resave the image.

You might also want to check to see if there are any color profiles associated with the image that are messing up IE. In Photoshop, do a Save As and you'll see the color profiles in the bottom of the box. Uncheck to remove the profile.

one of those answers that will occur instantly to someone on this list:
I recently edited one of my web pages to insert a graphical banner at the
head of the page. For some reason, the header would not display in IE if it
was a JPEG file, and would only display as a GIF. In Firefox et al, it
displayed fine in any format. The code used was <h2 style="margin-bottom:
0"> <img src="/icons/SummitIcon.GIF" height="69" width="700" /> </h2>

It's a trivial point, but the res of the JPG was much better and makes the
site look crisper. Any ideas?
