Action canceled on net

[asdert]

Why do parts of my internet pages have bits missing on them,this page for instance has it at the top just above the Internet & Technology heading(a large i with action canceled)

The page you see in your browser is actually made up of a number of separate files. First the text for thepage is downloaded, then that names other files, e.g. the graphics, which all need to be downloaded, so the browser initiates that download. Sometimes they just 'timeout', i.e. it takes too long and the browser gives up.

 

Try pressing the refresh button.

 

The problem you report is more common on dial-up - and getting more common -as webdesigners assume everyon is on broadband and use bigger and bigger files.

Another possibility is that your browser is set to cancel calls to images at a different domain to the main page. This means that the nice messages about Mr. Jeeves (or whatever) served up to us from the advertisment link company are cancelled.

If you can see some images but not others then it may be that your firewall/browser (or something similar) is configured to display pages without ads, as Hippy says.
If you can't see any images at all then (in Internet Explorer at least) click :
Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
Near the bottom, under "Multimedia", check the boxes that relate to showing pictures.
