IE6 - can't load a normal JPG

Question

Try loading this normal .jpg file in Internet Explorer 6.0. I get an error saying the picture won\'t load. Try it in any other browser and it works fine. What\'s wrong? The

Answer 1

The file is probably not a fully valid JPG and IE6/7/8 (I tested on IE8 and it wont load). Other browsers are a bit more defensive and can load it, but perhaps IE team choose not to load it as it could be invalid in a way that causes a security hole.

As Ryan Fox says, open it in an editor and re-save it ... where did the image come from, if it came from an editor dont use that editor again.

Edit: I opened it an Paint Shop Pro and it had an unknown color palette so had to convert it ... perhaps that is the problem. You could report it as a bug to the IE team and see what they say.
