I thought of that... the slashes i mean.... but heres some code: I know what your thinking... that this won't work... its true... In ie the first image does not display but the second does... in Firefox, the first image does not diplay, but the first does... The anims directory is at the same level as the directory that this code is in. I dont like having loads if directories with duplicate files in, so i have in the root, and images folder, downloads folder, and pages folder and some others... Is it my file structure that is at fault? i just like things tidy... BTW... Front page should be deleted and the people who wrote it shot!!! its crap...
