Pictures Present with Firefox but Missing

[Dan Peters]

yup.. that's a frustrating one...

seems photoshop 7 puts exif metadata into the jpgs when you save 
directly as a jpg. most browsers (that don't come from Redmond) 
correctly ignore the metadata... and show the image. IE on the other 
hand sees that data and chokes.

the fix is easy.. use "Save for web..." from photoshop.. and no 
metadata is embedded.

I looked at the top pic on www.dailyegyptian [musicRoom.jpg] and it 
wouldn't show in IE but shows in Safari. I put the image on my server 
(apache) and retested with the same results. Looked for metadata on 
the original musicRoom.jpg and it was there.  Resaved the image using 
'save for web..' and the second image shows in both browsers.
