Hmmm changed it back to the template folder it was originally in, and still nothing in IE. Added ALT text just to see if it was reading the updated html and that part works. This just makes no sense at all. seems fine in FF and safari both PC and MAC but IE and someone that has an old version of FF cant see it. and no one with IE can see it.

UPDATED CODE - this is at the top of my header template

Problem resolved... both versions of my logo are jpg format. The old one was RGB but the new one is CMKY. as soon as I changed it to RGB it is fine now. wierd that FF can show it but not IE or Chrome.

Thanks for following through and posting what fixed it. I had never heard of this before, but now I'll remember it if someone else posts about a strange problem like this!

Using "IE CMKY jpeg" in google, I found this article - http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/jpeg-p...irefox-and-ie/ This was done a couple of years ago, and obviously firefox is now fine with these images. It did make a good point though.... you should be doing a Save for Web with your image, not just a Save. The file will be smaller and should always be viewable in any browser.

save for web is pretty limited in color though the quality is pretty bad sometimes

Glad it got sorted Bulldog, it seems to be one of those strange but true type of problems :D
