Need help with offsite images

Pulling the newbie card...


I'm working behind a firewall on a localhost WAMPSERVER set up using

Apache 2.2.11
PHP 5.2.9-2
MySQL 5.1.33

and the latest release of CI

A simple M-V-C setup to draw a list of affiliate advertisers from my database.
One of the columns contains an offsite URL that points to a logo image.

I've never had a problem displaying any kind of images in this manner.

The view code looks like this:

Code:

<table class="chapter" border="2" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" >
    <tr>
        <th>Logo</th><th>Network id</th> <th>Affiliate id</th><th>Affiliate Name</th><th>Description</th>
    </tr>
    &lt;?php foreach($advs as $adv):?&gt;
        <tr>
            &lt;?php echo '<td><img src="' .$adv['affiliate_logo_URL'].'" alt="'. $adv['affiliate_nme'].' logo"></td><td>'.
                           $adv['network_id'].        '</td><td>'.
                           $adv['affiliate_id'].     '</td><td>'.
                           $adv['affiliate_nme'].   '</td><td>'.
                           $adv['desc_txt'] .          '</td>' ?&gt;
        </tr>    
    &lt;?php endforeach;?&gt;
    <tr><td colspan="5"><p>&lt;?php echo 'Total number of users :'.$numadvs;?&gt;</p></td></tr>
</table>

Everything displays as expected except for the img tag. The img tag is completely ignored.
If I do a View Source in the browser, I see the tag in the source code along with the full URL and if I click the URL it displays the correct image. So why is it not being displayed in the view. I've even tried a plain img tag with the URL hardcoded in and the tag is ignored. Some URLs work and some get ignored.

There must be something I missed either in the config, or a load in the controller.
if you need more to go on, ask me.
I could use the help.

Problem solved!!

It turns out that the Firefox Ad-Blocker was preventing certain images from getting through.
Disabling the filter solved the mysterious missing images problem.

Sorry to bother you.
