Ebay searches not showing images

Question

When viewing my messages from ebay in hotmail the images are not showing up until I refresh at least two or three plus times. Why is this?

Answer 1

just work on getting one simple image to .jar OK
e.g. this should .jar OK (after changing image names)
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class Testing
  Image img;
  public void buildGUI()
    try
      java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(getClass().getResource("Test.gif"), "Test.gif");
      if(url != null) img = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(url);
    catch(Exception e){}//swallow exception - handled in paintComponent
    JPanel p = new JPanel(){
      public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
        super.paintComponent(g);
        if(img != null) g.drawImage(img,100,100,this);
        else g.drawString("this space for rent",100,100);
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.getContentPane().add(p);
    f.setSize(400,300);
    f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.setVisible(true);
  public static void main(String[] args)
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
      public void run(){
        new Testing().buildGUI();
}put the image in the same folder, make .jar, then try the .jar on another pc
if all OK, change code to locate image file in subfolder, make .jar, then try the .jar on another pc
if all OK now, modify main program accordingly.
note: in .jars, capitalization of the image file names counts
e.g. in my above example, if I change Test.gif to test.gif, the image is not drawn
