- Missing .png image in Firefox
- Posted by Cullen Skink on March 15th, 2006
Hi
A friend's site will not display the way he wants it in Firefox. Apart
from the formatting issues there is a big banner that will not show.
I've no idea about HTML etc but would like to point him in the right
direction for fixing the banner. It displays ok in IE.
The site is: http://www.northern-vending.co.uk/ . The banner should be
about halfway down the page.
Any ideas?

The image "http://www.northern-vending.co.uk/vending.png" cannot be
displayed, because it contains errors.

In my Firefox, there is a large empty space to the left, then when
scrolling down, I find a menu-type block on the left that looks like it
wants to be in the empty space above. It also does not fit in my
1152x864 screen size, without horizontal scrolling.
It seems so ... disjointed.

designer did it to work with IE which it does, including the rest of
the page formatting. I would just like to help the site owner get it
working better in Firefox, starting with the banner.
Does anyone have any idea why it doesn't show in Firefox?

Suggest you have the file reloaded to the server.

<newsgroups@SOMETHINGFISHYukwebhost.com> posted something that
included:
Firefox appears to be improperly identifying the file as defective. I
don't know whether the file is up to spec or not, but I suspect it is
OK. It displays OK in Mozilla 1.7.11.
If I convert the file to BMP or GIF and back to PNG, using Irfanview,
Firefox displays the file just fine as an opaque PNG, chokes if the
PNG uses transparency.
I recommend converting the file to a GIF. You can either misname the
GIF file as a PNG, or you can edit the HTML file, and it will work
either way just fine in FireFox, Mozilla, and MISE, so I presume it
will work well in other browsers as well.

Except that in this case, FIREFOX, not MSIE, is the only browser that
gets it wrong. Firefox is built on the same Gecko engine that Mozilla
uses, and Mozilla renders that PNG file just fine.

Opera 9 doesn't display it either, neither do some image viewers so
there is something not right with it. However Mark at the above site
has sent me a new version of the image which works.
