Having trouble displaying images on a page in APEX through IE.

Question

I'm trying to conditionally display images (used as toggle buttons) in a tabular report in APEX. This is for our Benefits application where an employee can include or exclude his/her dependents from the plan. For each row, in one column I want to show only 'Include' button if an individual is not already a member, and in another column show only 'Remove' button if already included. I'm using the button images as links and passing information to a page process.
I was able to come up with the SQL query which works perfectly fine in Firefox. But the images won't display in Internet Explorer. Does anyone have any idea how to make this work in IE?
Below is my query. This code will display 'Include in plan' image only if the member is not already added to the plan. If 'Y' is the result of the query, then the member is already included and no image is displayed. Otherwise display the image. Pass the member_id to an application item and process the record in a Before Header process.
select elected_member_id, member_type, last_name, first_name, middle_name, gender,date_of_birth,student_flag,trunc(months_between(sysdate ,date_of_birth)/12) AGE,
decode((select 'Y'
from eben_elected_plan_info epi
     where plan_name not in ('Delta', 'Vision', 'HEALTH_FLEX', 'DEP_FLEX')
     and epi.elected_member_id = emi.elected_member_id
     and transaction_type <> 'END'), null,'<a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:70:&SESSION.::::F_APP_MEMBER_INCLUDE:'||elected_member_id||'<img src="&WORKSPACE_IMAGES.include.png"></a>') elected_member_id_include,
elected_member_id elected_member_id_exclude
from eben_elected_members_info emi
where emp_person_id = :f_app_person_id
and member_type <> 'Employee'

I was able to resolve this issue by creating the SQL statement from scratch in IE. It then recognized the images.
