Using Internet Explorer

by georgecraig Aug 2, 2007 4:45AM PDT

I have a web domain and recently made some content changes.
Viewing the domain, using my default Internet Explorer, I hane some small boxes with red cross, which I beleive are remains of disused files.
I have tried to locate them on the domain control panel, but they are not visable there.

But viewing them using Mozilla Firefox, the afore mentioned boxes do not appear.
Im baffled, could anyone help

I'm baffled as well

Although I dabble in web site design I am by no means an expert. But I am confused by what you say.

You said that you believe these to be the remains of unused files which show up in IE as red dots. Are you using IE as a file manager to view the files stored on the server, or are you using IE to view the html (or html type) web site?

If you are using IE to view the web site then the only way you can be seeing the red dots is if the web page html is trying to display those files. So if the files are not there, or have been changed, then IE will not be able to display them correctly, hence the placeholder errors. It is the web site html code that needs to be changed.

Perhaps I am missing something here.
