View Full Version : Image won't open in URL on Internet Explorer Mobile

Hi Guys,

I am having a problem at the moment. When I try and open a URL that ends in .jpg, Internet Explorer Mobile wants to download and open it. I want the image to simply open in Internet Explorer Mobile. It can obviously render images, as it does it all the time, but seemingly not when the URL ends in .jpg.

I tested the link on a desktop version of IE and it didn't ask to download, it just showed the image, which suggests to me it is not using "Application/Force-Download". I am going to try on another mobile web browser like Opera.

Does anybody know why this is? Or, is there a registry tweak to fix it? Thank you everyone for any information you can provide. It will help me greatly with a project I am working on.

PS I have "View Images" turned on in Internet Explorer Mobile, so that is not the problem.

i'm not so sure this is a problem.
which internet explorer are you using?
I think the new internet explorer shows images rather than downloading them.

Thanks for your reply. I have gotten around the problem by putting the link (it's static) inside a blank html page. Works perfectly now. Cheers!

i'm sorry, but what did you do before? tried to put the link in a PIE window with a website already loaded?

Sorry, let me be very specific:

I needed to get PIE to load an image inside the web browser, simple as entering the URL address and up comes the image.
However, PIE won't do that (could be a VGA problems specific to Imate phones I heard). Instead it asks if you want to download it, which I don't.
So, to fix the problem I have written a html page that basically says:

<html><head>
<Src img="www.website.com/June/Image.jpg">
</head></html>

Using this way, the image is forced to open inside PIE.

I needed it for a mod I am making for HTC Home and Manilla 2D.

Oh.. i thought you just put it inside a blank PIE window instead of one already loaded with a webpage.. hehe :)

good to know then.

the new PIE loads images regularly tho, doesn't download them.

cheers
