strange problem
i have a really strang problem and i'm not sure what it is never mind how to fix it. ok - he is the deal. i have a website and i added some advertising banners on it. i signed up with Commission Junction. they use a javascript for a rotating banner. the problem is that one day it works fine and the next it doesnt. their technical support didnt know what the problem is.
so i signed up with UKAffiliates. thy use an iframe. same problem. except now i realised it must be a problem with my script because both banners worked and didnt work at the same time.

this isn't just a problem with javascripts or iframes. even a simple <a> tag didnt work. all of my tags work but theirs do not.

the first code is the cgi script printing the html.
and the second is the output i get when its not working (although if u goto the url u will see it does work)

Code:
<table border="0" width="125" height="125" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center">
<tr>
<td>
<iframe src="http://www.dgm2.com/...p?A=18905&I=7444">
<IMG SRC="http://www.dgm2.com/...p?A=18905&I=7444" BORDER=0>
</a>
</iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</table>




Code:
<table border="0" width="125" height="125" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center">
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>


has anyone ever heard of a problem like this?

thanks

its fixed now... apparantly it was my system at fault. a combination of something called a 'hosts' file, firewall and IE6 were actaully blocking these adverts.
