Hello Amy,

I also had problems loading images using NN as browser. The problem is that
netscape believes loading an image could be a security problem and doesn�t
allow you to do so. I posted a similar question and this is the answer I got
from Rich Wilkman

"
Alexander:

NS considers the normal image loading mechanism to be a security
exception.

http://www.got.net/~rwilkman/java and look at the samples.  There is one
on loading images in Applets and it has code for the "Netscape" way.

Unfortunatly, the Netscape way is not used in 3rd party components like
jbcl or jfc, etc.  You'll have to roll your own or live with text in the
NS environment.
