Yup, that fails to show the counter in IE. NS is even more
erratic... one time I got only half the big dog, and NS was trying
to contact a server named "math..." which isn't in your HTML.

Yet if I copy the IMG link and paste it to your domain name, it
loads fine.

There seem to be a lot of BIG, FONT, and SMALL tags in the bottom
line of text. Trying to be sure they were nested correctly, I ran
out of fingers. NS is prone to go wacky if you throw too many font
attributes together. That "shouldn't" affect how it handles an IMG
tag, but... no, it does not matter. I trimmed your HTML down to one
word, no tags, and it still fails.

What language is the script? If you rename it counter.gif, it may
work better. I name my Perl scripts that return images with a GIF
extension. Xitami opens them and finds the #!/foo/bar/perl line, and
feeds them through Perl before sending them to the client.
