Hmm,
This "problem" has been encountered for a number of years...Glenn (the
other one, hehe) hit most of the causes...but, the number one cause of
red squares in place of images is simply that the IMG SRC defined by
the author of the web page is NOT the exact type the image really is!
An example---as you may know, GIF format has been debated, due to some
license issues, many sites are switching to PNG (Portable Network
Graphic) format. What happens sometimes, lazy web site authors simply
RENAME a file, ie..somepic.gif is renamed somepic.png, and they do not
go to the trouble of actually converting to a different format. Another
cause I've noticed are JPEG images that aren't true JPG format, or are
in a format that is non-standard, and NONE of my graphic utilities can
view them! Either of these situations or the ones GLENNMCC mentioned
will result in red squares or rectangles being displayed in place of
an image file. So, the lesson to be learned for all would-be web
authors, PLEASE, when you decide to change graphic format, CONVERT your
images to the desired format, don't just RENAME them to a different
extension and expect everyone to be able to view your images!
C U L8R!
