    Default Thumbnail Viewer problem

    I downloaded the original Thumbnail Viewer, followed all the directions, and it worked great....When I click on the thumbnails, they appear larger, in the middle of the page. However...there is one problem. My images, when displayed, allow text & table borders to show through. I have loaded the original thumbnails into a table cell. Is there an attribute of the image that I must set in order to insure that it is displayed in front? The images that I am using are .png, but I had the same problem with .gif. I have not yet posted the page so that it is "live" - I am currently loading the file locally from my computer using IE. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    First order of business... Never, ever use IE for any reason except testing. Always use Firefox, Apple Safari, or Google Chrome to develop, and then fix things to work in IE. IE may be the problem right there in the first place...

    IE renders pages differently, using Microsoft's rules instead of the world-wide accepted web standards. 99.8% of other browsers will display it using the W3C web standards, but IE won't. That's why it's best to use Firefox or Safari to make the webpage, then fix things that don't work in IE... Just for future reference.

    A handy tool is the W3C validator, it will scan your code for errors and tell you about them.

    Back to the issue at hand...

    Try adding this to the <img> tag::
    Code:
    style="z-index:100"
    This will tell the browser that the image is layered higher than all the other stuff. It may also be good to add a lower (like 99) z-index value to the parent element of the img tag.

    Hope this helps!
