I'm using thumbnail images in my web output; the idea being that if you click a thumbnail, a larger image pops up. However, not all popups are working correctly. Some thumbnails when clicked result in this:
I've also compared file names for successful and unsuccessful popups but I can't find any pattern.
Before I publish, I test the generated output on my laptop and all popups work the way they are supposed to.
Has anyone ever experienced this problem?
Thanks!
Steve
I looked at my browser's console and each click on a faulty thumbnail produces a 404 (not found). But I've also look at the server's file system and the images are all in the necessary folder.Full-Size Image from Thumbnail Not Displaying

Re: Full-Size Image from Thumbnail Not Displaying
Is the webserver a linux server rather than windows? If so, it might be a capitalisation issue.
On linux the following are usually considered two different files, whereas Windows considers them the same.

I think there is a server setting that can be changed to make linux (apache) case-insensitive, but I think some server admins are reluctant to do it, I don't why.
Anyway, something to check.

Re: Full-Size Image from Thumbnail Not Displaying [Solved]
Thanks, Psider! Yes, the server is linux and it is indeed a capitalization issue.
For the benefit of others:
I was using a screen capture tool that saves png images as <image name>.PNG instead of <image name>.png.
In my Topic I referred to <image name>.PNG because that was the correct capitalization.
It appears that when Flare generates output, it converts 'PNG' to 'png', but my topic still referenced 'PNG'. No problem on Windows; I had generated HTML output on my local windows machine and tested each popup. Appparently because Windows is lax on capitalization, the browser displayed the larger image.
But then I published to the server which is not lax. When the click requested <image name>.PNG, the server literally lookd for PNG and of course did not find it becuase the image was 'png'.
So I changed both file names and references to use 'png' instead of 'PNG'.
