Lynne, I have a "default" index page in my image folders, for instance: http://www.fractalfairy.com/~feusers/tilesbackground/images/ to keep people from just going into a folder and viewing such as you can w/ yours... Just seems to make the site more complete... The folder is viewable as a full path because that's what all folders are - full paths to them... Any folder you have on your website (unless you password protect it) will be viewable by simply typing in it's path... If you want a folder that others can't find out what's in it you need to put an index page there... One w/o alot of graphics will lessen your bandwidth usage (if you have a cap on your bandwidth)... I used to have a server in my computer and I could make it so that the server would not allow others to link to a folder w/o an index.html page in it... It's possible that your server is like that and that's why some browsers can't see the images and others can't though I would think it would restrict all browsers and not just some... Try putting in an index page into the images folder and see if it corrects the problem...
