Okay this is blowing my mind. I have built a WordPress theme out of some very simple HTML and images. Unfortunately, I can't show you the actual theme in action because it's not ready to be live on the site, and you have to be logged in as administrator.
Anyway, EVERYTHING seems to be lining up properly and displaying correctly in both FF and IE, except for ONE image. The image simply won't show up in IE and shows my alt= text. I feel crazy posting my code to an image tag, but here it is <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/bottom.jpg" alt="The Image Isn't working!"> .

I even copied and pasted the image tag from another, working image just to be sure.

Can anybody help?

P.S. Even the site navigation is comprised of 5 images at the top and 5 images at the bottom, and the main logo is an image at the top also, and ALL of these are working fine.

Here's my entire page code, just in case...

<h2><?php_e('Not Found'); ?></h2>

You ready for this? The only thing I found that would cause the error is the above line.


You are missing a space :) It should read:

<h2><?php _e('Not Found'); ?></h2>

*edit* If this doesn't work I am at a loss :(

I sure thought that would have done it. But it's a no-go. I'm getting drepressed. LOL

I figured it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I created the image in Photoshop, I saved it as a jpeg, but my image was in CMYK mode. Who KNOWS how that happened. But anyway, IE does NOT like jpg's made from an image in CMYK. I changed the Mode to RGB/8, saved it as a jpeg again from that, and it works great!

Why don't we just quit using IE?
;) Just kidding. No offense, anyone...

Thanks to everyone who looked and thought about it and tried to help!

P.S. Google chrome didn't like the image from CMYK, either :)
