I wanted to add that sometimes I had similar issues and discovered that the underlying permissions for the to-be-inserted file (e.g., image) were not set correctly. For browsers to show a file such as an image, the file must be "world-readable" (i..e., "-rw-r--r--" in unix; not sure what the designation would be on a Windoze box). With command-line access, one can use a command like "chmod" (change mode?) to correct such problems; I think there are ways to do so with some tools in FTP applications, etc., too. When I've had issues with images or other files in situations such as this, I sometimes find it valuable to control- or right-click on the image and select "open image in a new window." Then I can examine the path for problems (does it point to the right directory? is there an inconsistency with the case?). Also, I've found that it's sometimes helpful to test the page in another browser to eliminate problems associated with how one browser is rendering the page; of course, one should generally conduct such tests, anyway, even when no problems are apparent in one's default browser.
