    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.

    BTW - I'm using Firefox. Does this happen on IE too?

    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.

  • 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 Yahoo ;)

    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.

    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..
