It's been doing it for me quite often lately. Grrrr!
And yes, I too checked and it does show the correct code.
Just doesn't get parsed properly for some strange reason.

No idea - I normally use Firefox as well.
It could well be that in addition to the WYSIWYG editor being a bit temperamental under normal circumstances, Firefox has some extra problems implementing it.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

I use Firefox and haven't had any problems although I do remember once finding an image via Google and it didn't like that so I found the same image via Yahoo0

Yep. There can sometimes be a problem with images that you find via the 'image search' on some search engines.
However, the WYSIWYG editor has "misbehaved" with some images that I have on my image hosting accounts. So that was not the issue.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

I just had the problem and spent 20 minutes checking and re-checking my code, trying to find an alternative pic., etc... Eventually I found this thread. I've no idea how your 'fix' works, but it worked for me too so thanks
Incidentally, I'm using Firefox aswell..0
