I have an iOS app that contains a UIWebView, which display a webpage. Sometimes the page displays a different image than the one associated with the src link.
A user sent me a screenshot where it was clear that one of the icon images had been replaced with a completely different image. The same wrong image was displayed in each of the instances where this icon was supposed to be displayed. Refreshing did not solve the issue, but closing and opening the app did. (Or maybe she actually deleted and reinstalled the app.)
The html for the icon is just an img:
<img src = "/the_icon_source">
The img src is hardcoded directly into the HTML file. I therefore don't see that the HTML itself could have been wrong or said anything besides "/the_icon_source".
So how can the wrong image be associated with an image src? Could the server be sending the wrong image when it's asked for "/the_icon_source"? Could the iOS app be caching incorrectly, mixing up images? How to test and fix?
I myself cannot reproduce this issue. I'm not sure how often it occurs, but several users have mentioned it, also for other images on the page. They have only mentioned it occurring in the app, not on the website. This may just be because the app is used more than the website.
My host is Webfaction and the images are served using WebFaction server’s static-only front-end nginx process. The app displays the website in a UIWebView. (Webfaction suppprt merely told me that they served the right images.)
Is the problem not that you have it like this:
img src = "/the_icon_source"
rather than like this:
img src = ".the_icon_source"
If this is sat on a linux server the / will be pointing to the root directory whereas the . or simply the_icon_source would simply point to the directory in which the website is sat which i assume is where the image is also located.

I have a code which I need to share so I pasted in from Visual Studio Code into code pen and replace all my image links with imgur links but when I save the code on codepen it doesn't show up.
I've tried uploading to different picture sharing websites but none of them seems to work or sometimes they just dissapear
<img src="https://images.app.goo.gl/PH9vzQEL6deb152b7" alt="logo">
This is a simple code i used but the image just refuses to appear.
I just need to image to show up, if there is any way to share my website without publishing it to the web I would like to be informed about it too. Thanks you.
this is a website that get your image and give you base64 of it and you can put this base64 thing in your src attribute of img element and you are good to go
I am uploading my website using Filezilla, and some images are not appearing. I have checked that the file names are all lower case and that the file type is set to auto instead of ASCII. I have cleared the cache too and I am still not seeing the same images not appearing.
I have got a 403 and 404 error on these images in the console, please see screenshot image for this.error image
All images work fine when testing locally on my computer but some random images are not appearing. Anyone any ideas why this could be?
Thanks!
image not appearing
Could you maybe provide some code with examples?
It could e.g be that the path on the server is different. If you use absolute paths it may work on your host where the homepage is under /. But if it is under /user/ or something similar (so not in the root), the paths can be broken and images will not appear. So check if you provide the paths differently for the pictures that work as opposed to the ones which fail.
I downloaded a binary via docker for the Gogs project (https://github.com/gogits/gogs), set it up (via docker pull gogs/gogs) and the server works as expected. Now I'm trying to customize the html a bit to look consistent with our company's other tools. When looking at deployed project, the assets of interest are in the following directories:
public/img/*.png
public/css/*.css
templates/*.tmpl
When I update the css, changes take effect right away, when I update tmpl, I need a container restart (implying that html is generated at server start time), when I update anything in public/img/ directory, however, I can't seem to get those assets used at all and I'm clueless about what's happening since most web servers/frameworks treat public/img/ as a static directory with all of its contents publicly visible by default.
Here is what I've tried so far and the outcomes:
Action: copied a new favicon image (my_favicon.png) into public/img/ and changed /templates/base/head.html to point to it (/img/my_favicon.png) instead of the original (/img/favicon.png), left original untouched and restarted the container.
Result: page loads with broken image icon, DOM inspector says that it's pointing to /img/my_favicon.png but doesn't show the image, going to that URL directly doesn't show the image either.
Action: change .tmpl back to point to original image (/img/favicon.png), overwrite original with the new image. I tried this with the main lg-gogs.png logo too.
Result: page loads with broken image icon just like before.
A grep search for image name revealed that only the .tmpl I modified and config.codekit are mentioning it (and I'm not at all familiar with CodeKit, but the instructions claim that it's only relevant for git, not me, and to leave the file alone, although it seems to profile names and sizes of all images - however I don't see anything else on the server reference this codekit file).
I have no idea why changes to css and tmpl work fine, but images cause this unexpected result. Does anyone have an idea of what's going on, why the server isn't accepting the images?
ive been finally polishing off a website i was building but to my dismay i recently checked the website in Internet Explorer and found the images weren't loading fully.. you can see can the borders for the image but nothing loads in between. i thought it might something i altered on wordpress, but the main page has images from from non wordpress html files and they don't load either.. everything works fine on every other browser except Internet Explorer.. any ideas why? probably a simple fix
here's the website.. . all the code and css is viewable there, if you want my wordpress code let me know
maybe the code just needs to rearranged to make window browsers happy?
any help would be great
Looking at the source for the shop.html, it looks like you are specifying the height of the images, but not the width. Opera, and Firefox are ignoring the width="" and using the default width, but IE is setting it to width="1." I don't know how to change this in Wordpress but if you remove the width="" or add a value it will show correct.
You can see this if you r-click the image line in IE and select properties: it shows as 1X290px.
img src="images/shop/julianduron.jpg" width="" height="290"
hope this helps
I'm trying to see what a certain webpage would look like if I replaced a certain image with another. Rather than upload the image, edit the site, etc, each time I tweak it, I'd like to know if there's a way to change the image in the page to my local version while viewing the remote page.
I use Firebug for debugging web development usually, but I'm open to any other tool that might do this.
(It is absolutely impossible to search for this and find anything but questions about dynamic image swapping on a deployed website, so sorry if this is a duplicate.)
Added: I just tried substituting a file:/// URI pointing to the image (copied and pasted from the address bar after manually opening the image), and alas, it did not work — the image fails to change.
It seems to only work with the http[s] protocols (likely for security reasons). You can store your images on service like Dropbox, share the image or folder, then use the public URLs.
Really, you can use any web accessible images, so a local server would work too.
If your image is in a localhost server(not as file mind you) i think you can still put that localhost url in the firebug inspect element and it'll work.
Tried an absolute file path but it doesn't work apparently. So I guess you just have to make do with a localhost server image. That works for me
Quick and Lowtech Answer: Take a screen shot of the page open it in photoshop and drop the local image on a layer above the webpage image.
Hi if you are serving from a webserver, u probably can't point it to a file on ur local drive. Even if its localhost, u can't point to a local file c:/test.jpg for example. Its because the browser sorts of sandbox ur page so that scripts can't access local files.
One way is to upload the new file (new_file.jpg) to the webserver, give the image link an id
<img id="something1" src="test.jpg"/>
Using jQuery in the firebug watch window do
$("#something1").attr("src","new_file.jpg");
You should see the image change. If you are not using jQuery, you can use document.getElementById("something1") and get the element to modify.
Another way is to use http://makiapp.com/
You can overlay an image from you computer onto any website you look at with this. Very cool tool for lining up a comp with your code.
You can:
Drag your test image into Google Drive
Open it in a browser
Go to the actual image path
Use this path as a substitute in Firebug
It's almost as fast as working from a local drive.
