    Unhappy Image Viewer Script only work on Windows?

    1) Script Title: Image Thumbnail Viewer Script

    2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/thumbnail.htm

    3) Describe problem: I've set up everything exactly the way the directions asked, and the thumbnail viewer works great when I open my files on the computer. I've uploaded the files and now the script doesn't work. I'm using a Windows computer and my hosting is Linux. Is it possible that this script doesn't work with Linux?

    No. A Linux server is no problem. Sounds like you have a mismatch between the upper/lower case of the path and/or filename to the images (like .jpg in your code vs. .JPG as a part of the actual filename, things like that). This almost never matters on the local machine, it almost always matters on the server. But that's just my best guess, it really could be any of a great number of things.

    If you want more help:

    Please post a link to a page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.

    I went through and found that indeed the folder I had the script in started with a capitol letter, and the links within the pages didn't have the capitol letter. I updated everything, but it didn't do anything. NOW I'm really confused, lol.

    Neat birds, I like birds.

    Anyways, it's working fine here right now in several browsers. In a case like this, at this point, it's usually just a matter of your browser showing you the old version of the page before the changes.

    Close all instances of the live site (all windows and/or tabs). Clear your browser's cache and try again. I think you will be pleased with the result.

    I cleared my cache, but the thumbnail script is still not working, it just opens the image by itself in the same window. Why would it only work for you and not for me? Also, the site that's still on my local drive lets the script work fine, its just the online version that won't work for me.

    Okay, this weird, I just opened the site in Internet Explorer, and guess what? The script works!!! Haha, this is the weirdest thing I've ever experienced. Did you test the site on Firefox? I just want to make sure that the problem is my browser ONLY and not all firefox browsers.

    Updating AGAIN. Now that I've opened the site in IE, I went to open it in firefox again and the script works. Weirdest. Thing. Ever. I've had IE mess up my CSS before, but this is just wacko. XD

    Thank you so much for your help.
