ok so apparently it's my machine somehow...i just uploaded it to another server to send you a link to see what i mean...but it works fine with the same image that gives me problems. so now i have NO idea wtf is going on with my machine, but apparently it works on other machines somehow...GAH. thanks for the help anyway. :P

So you see the gobbled images locally, not on a server? Well, there goes my theory about uploaded in ascii...

Sorry, I posted the above without seeing your last post.

Yes, I understand what you are doing now but I'm afraid I have no ideas about what's happening.
