Internet Explorer (another?)

This is probably common knowledge among web dev's, but I just spent several hours wondering why my images weren't being displayed. The CSS (which was definitely being applied to the element):
.sm-toprow { background-image:url('img/tr.gif'); }The element:<tr><td class="sm-toprow"></td></tr>The huh? The images existed, were accessed fine and were definitely valid image files. The problem: I was only knocking up a quick layout for a page and so created the images in paint. Paint went and saved them as bitmaps, with a different extension, and Iexplore doesn't like images with the wrong extension. :mad: Edit: fixed some formatting problem (ie, the code not being code) Edit 2: didn't fix it. What the hell is going on with the post? Edit 3: actually fixed it this time. Something failed with the pasting of the HTML. My bad. Ninja (the Nerd) Confused? You will be... -

Are we missing something in the original problem? Any typical system setting playing hide and seek?

Correct me if I'm wrong if this was on a server there would be a request for the .jpg file and the server would read the header of the file and return a type of bitmap. Maybe IE rejects the response if it isn't of the type it expected?

Paint saves images by default as bitmaps files (.bmp) If you have "hide known extensions" disabled, windows explorer does not show you the file extension. I can open bitmap files using Iexplorer. Are we talking the same thing? :confused:

Yep...img tag. It was on my computer, hadn't uploaded it anywhere by then. I'm expecting it was the file extension/type mismatch because when I saved the images as a Jpeg (not just .jpg extension) using a proper image editor it worked fine. So technically there's 2 problems: 1) Paint doesn't save files as the right type properly (especially when it's 3AM). 2) Iexplore doesn't SEEM to open said images properly.

I show all extensions. I have no idea how much it affects paint, notepad++ etc. because I've never used them with extensions hidden.

I don't understand why you consider this a problem in the first place. You are expecting Internet Explorer to figure out and fix your screw-up?! You are being part of the problem... stop it.

I'll remember this when you ever get in a similar situation... I don't really understand this harsh answer :confused:
