Hi Mary Ann

I took a look at the page in Communicator and yep, it took three reloads
for all the images to appear for me too.

I did notice that on the first line in your table, the end is showing
</TD><TD>. Did you intend for the TD to end there or is it a typo...should
it be </TD></TR>....<TD>blah blah...

Also, I have to agree with Jim. Are your images in the same directory as
your html file. If they're not you need to put a reference in there so that
the server knows where to find them. If they're in a directory "images"
then you need to put that in front of your pic code. Example:  <IMG
SRC="images/grand_ipeaches.jpg">

But having said that, if the IMG tags are not 100% correct, I don't
understand how the pics ever load at all....methinks the server perhaps has
the collywobbles as Jim suggested.

HTH
