My turn for a question. I hope this is not out of line for this list. It is in relation to building a web site for a family reunion we are having. We cannot figure out what the problem is. We have some photos on the pages and some people can click to enlarge them and some of us can't. We've checked settings in Internet Explorer, checked java scripting to make sure it's on (the photos are in a java slideshow). Anyone have any ideas as to what could be set wrong on some of our computers. It's not that we have pop-ups blocked either as I've checked that, too. We have Zone Alarm Pro, Win XP, EZAntiVirus, all I can think of that might affect things. Our screen size is set at 1024 x 768 if that makes a difference. I'm sorry I can't give you access to the pages as we have them passworded for family members only. Any advice gladly taken as one of three webmasters of these pages it's very frustrating to not be able to enlarge my own photos. We have a limit size of 300 pixels as the width limit for photos to show on the pages, but I've loaded photos that were 500 x 500 pixels and I still can't get them to enlarge. Thanks, Patty
Patty, In Internet Explorer, go to Tools> Options> Advanced Tab. Check you Microsoft VM settings. Background: Due to legal problems between MS and Sun (the makers of Java) MS stopped using Java and created their own version. They called it Virtual Machine (VM). This however, has been known to have serious security flaws and has since been turned off by patches. You can turn it back on with the above method. I would return to the previous settings after leaving your web page. You might consider not using the Java language and revert to simple thumbnails for your web page. There are several free programs that will do this without the use of Java. Or if you desire the 'slide-show' consider Flash. The other thing that could be blocking them is the ZoneAlarm. This program has been known to block certain picture files. Take care, Art >My turn for a question. I hope this is not out of line for this list.
