image commented out ?

Sent by Randal Sean Harrison on 6 August 2006 00:12


I am losing my mind.  Most xhtml/css issues I *at least* know where  
to look for help.  No idea on this one.

This is the site---
http://www.hu.mtu.edu/~rsharris/kennedy_canine_center/

This is the problem---
I have a div for the banner which I'd set a background image for.  It  
showed up on my G5, all browsers.  It DIDN'T show up on my PC, any  
browsers.

....So I inserted the actual image into the div itself.  It still  
doesn't show on my PC browsers.  Any of them.  Shows relatively  
perfectly on all mac browsers (except IE5formac-- but that's another  
issue).

Here's the thing:  When I view source from within Notepad or  
Dreamweaver ON A MAC, the code is:


<div id="banner">
<img src="images/banner.jpg" alt="Banner Image for Kennedy Canine  
Center" width="775" height="150" />
</div>


But when I view source for same from the PCs, it's commenting out my  
image?!! It gives me this:


<div id="banner">
<!-- src="images/banner.jpg" alt="Banner Image for Kennedy Canine  
Center" width="775" height="150" -->
</div>


Has anyone seen this or have any clue?  Sure, browsers interpret text  
files (which is what xhtml files really are, right?) differently.   
But I can't understand how a simple text file can be different in the  
same directory.  It's a comment when I read it from the pcs and not  
commented when I read it from the macs.  I tried linking the image.   
I tried copying the entire site to my pc and sftp'ing it. No change.   
No dice.

Anyone? (serious thanks in advance)

(And sorry if this is a stupid question--but I'm honestly stumped.)
