FireFox 3.6, Internet Exlorer 8 and 9 Safari 4 and 5

That page could use some code cleanup. There is an almost endless sequences with a lot of unnecessary code repeating. It looks that the HTML parser can't cope with that code and gives up at some point. I do not see the images in the View Selection Source and in Tools > Page Info > Media. Live HTTP Headers shows that they are retrieved from the server.

There is an incompatibility between the new HTML5 parser in Firefox 4 and the code in your page.
To see the difference, you can toggle the HTML5 parser off or back on again like this:
(1) Type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Alt+Enter to open the preferences editor in a new tab. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste html5 and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click html5.parser.enable to toggle it to false or back to true.
Then reload your page.
Off the top of my head, I don't know the solution to making your page compatible.

Thanks I see what you mean - I have an ancient copy of Dreamweaver (3) and I am not at all familiar with HTML - did this site for my sisters band in a massive hurry - Not sure how to clean up HTML with out we building all the templates from scratch - I have developed some health issues which stop me from being on the PC for too long - Thanks though
Although My HTML skills are poor - I went through all the websites pages (actually the fault were with the templates) and deleted, carefully a pile of replicated and pointless code - thiss seems to have solved the problem - strange that it never seemed to have caused a problem before with other browser or indeed Firefoz 3.6 and before
One major benifit in doing this exercise is that the websites new HTML slim pages load super fast .
Thanks for all your help :)
You're welcome.
Yes, that is quite an improvement of the previous code.
