Ah HAH!!!! Finally!

Thanks, Jonathan! Now I finally get why I don't see this "beautiful blue =
image" everyone else sees...

Stephanie: a suggestion: change either the NAME or the SIZE of that top =
image (banner15)... The latest version of ZoneAlarm Pro 3.0 includes a =
kick-butt feature that completely disables ads on pages =
(user-selectable), and my guess is that either based on the name or the =
size, it's blocking your graphic (it includes the option to block all =
banner ads)! I've been wracking my brain ever since you posted your =
critique request, trying to figure out why I never saw that image in IE, =
NS, OP, or (gasp) AOHell. Now I know. ZAP3 kills it, thinking it's an =
ad! Sheesh. If it caught me, you KNOW it's gonna catch others as ZAP3 =
gets installed on machines everywhere... Might as well try to fix this =
now before your client gets all upset wanting to know why so many people =
CAN'T see his site! :-O

Hope this helps,
Kehvan

PS: I just checked an old site of mine that uses a graphic sized at =
480x60 and is a gif (like a standard ad image would be)... that image =
displays, so it must be the name of your file that's triggering the =
blockage... Change the name, let me know, and I'll see if I can see the =
image finally, okay?
