In Windows use the file compare program 'fc', in *nix use 'diff'. Remember to do a binary comparison in both cases. If both files are exactly the same then you've got a crappy browser - it should display an image file in the same manner regardless of what headers came with it. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* The avoidance of taxes is the only intellectual pursuit that carries any reward. -- John Maynard Keynes */
