Hi everyone,
I've tested my pages on Firefox and Safari and IE8, and all looks fine.
But when I check on my old version of IE, IE5.2 for Mac, I get red "X"
symbols in place of some image files whose names are too long.
I haven't figured out exactly what the maximum allowed number of
characters is, but I was wondering if you all think it is worth the
bother to go through my entire website and change all the filenames and
the links in the code (hundreds of images and pages) for this old version
of IE. I mean, is there some other reason to keep the file names under a
certain number of characters?
Most frustrating is the fact that my file names aren't even that long;
for example: "LalenaFisher_ill_BooksOnBalls_th.gif" is too long, but
"LalenaFisher_ill_Books_th.gif" seems okay. I have a lot of images and do
need to get fairly specific in the filenames, so cutting them down would
actually be a bit of a problem.
Thank you!
Lalena
If you have a question about styling images this is the place to ask.
However, you will probably get better responses to this question at
Webdesign L [1] or one of the one of the other sites listed in the CSS
Discuss wiki off-topic page. [2]
