How can I get photo templates in iWeb to display on Windows Internet Explorer?

I am creating a web site, using iWeb 3 (latest version), for a friend's band. I have created a Photos page, using the My Album template. I have also created various bio pages, using the Photo template. When I tesy the pages on my virtual Windows maching, with Internet Explorer 9, I can only see the text and no photos. Anyone have a similar problem and a solution, being to continue to use the iWeb page templates?

Thanks in advance

Try using a photo's page instead of an "Album" page. Album pages required something with MobileMe if I am not mistaken.

I never use Albums but there is a problem with the Photos template in IE V9 under certain circumstances.

Are you optimizing your files before upload?

I use Web Site Maestro to optimize and upload my website files. It's Smart feature can determine which are the latest modified files and upload only them. Or you can upload a single folder or file if that's what needed at the time. To me it's almost easier than publishing directly from iWeb.

virtual Windows

you can not depend virtual machine, it's an emulator and emulator is not the real thing... just like open a web page in safari and use develop --> user agent.

you have to test it out with a real pc and real ie browser.

iweb photos/albums page are loaded with javascript widgets, so turn on javascript in you pc/browser.

optimize photos/albums page will have no effects with javascript widgets.

fact check people, a lot thing won't when javascript is off... start out with navbar...

Since I'm not a PC (Windows) person, how do I turn on javascript in Internet Explorer 9?

Thanks

I will post the URL after I upload the files (thath is, when I have completed the pages).

In the same way as on your Mac.

In the preferences.

Well, activating Java in IE did not correct the situation. The pictures are still not displaying. I'm going to have to upload the page to the server and disclose the URL. I will do this ASAP.

Thanks
