Why do I sometimes get these strange broken graphics instead of a normal graphic?


The broken graphics occur when Netscape looks for a graphic file, but for some reason it is having a hard time finding and downloading it. A question mark graphic appears, on the other hand, when there is no file with the name that the program code tells Netscape to look for. But a broken graphic occurs when there is a file with the proper name, but Netscape can't download it properly.

Who knows why it does this. There could be too much traffic on the lines. There could be interference from a phonecall trying to get through if you are using a modem at home. You never can tell. Netscape screws up all the time.

The point is that the file really is there. You have a couple of options for getting Netscape to load it.

These broken images really have a tendency to appear on the glossary page. Just keep trying the above options and eventually the whole page will load properly.
