The other day I mentioned that I was having a strange problem where only the banner image on my site wasn’t showing in my browser. Well, it started affecting other banner images as well on other sites. Images gone on the PC that were fine on the mac, and always banner-type. Hmmm… I looked at the source and saw this where the image should be:
bq. function SymError()
{
return true;
}
window.onerror = SymError;
From there, it took a quick Google and I arrived at the obvious solution. Norton Internet Security’s Ad Blocker was hiding the images. As soon as turned Ad Blocking off, all the missing images came back! I had the image in an ID called “banner” and that’s what Norton was hiding. Rather than rewriting code, I’ll just keep the blocking off. As long as pop-ups are under control, ads don’t bother me all that much and I don’t want to miss real content. It does tell me to be mindful when I’m coding sites in the future.
I love it when a mystery is solved. Now if only I can train my fingers to go for the control key instead of the alt key when I mean the key that does what the command key does on the Mac, and I’ll be a much happier camper.
