Tiff links not visible

.tif is generally not a supported web format. It is better to use .jpg instead if possible.

I’m surprised the other browsers don’t show a link though. Can you provide the URL to an example page where we can see the problem?

Sorry for a bil late answer!

Here’s a link to one of those pages…

https://xn--bjrken-xxa.se/ritningar/a-ritningar/

See this page for which browsers support .tiff:

Hmm…

I see that both Safari and IE are supposed to be able to show Tiff files. Since it’s these browsers that just shows blank pages… could it be that they are trying, but fails for some reason? No error messages though…

Yep, looks like it’s timing out on trying to load the page – Chrome does load part of it for me.

Shouldn’t your image file extensions end with .tiff instead of .tif?

[Hi Yogi :)]

I have no idea of when .tif or .tiff should be used. Both seems to work though…

-> WPyogi! Are you saying that the page is timing out in Chrome as well, meaning only a few of the links/icons ar showing up?

Chrome seems to be slowly loading at least some of the broken images.

[@Josh – hi – I still owe you an email :)! Sorry to be remiss!]

I don’t really think that any of the images are broken. Anyway, do you mean that your version of Chrome actually tries to load the images, it’s not just displaying their links?

Looking at the page using Safari’s developer tools, I see a bunch of large tif files in the image resource list. When I try to load a tif directly by it’s URL, nothing loads in Safari.

For example:

https://bj?rken.se/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Br?ddgatan-22-balkonger.tif

I was finally able to get one to load:

https://bj?rken.se/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Br?ddgatan-22-bottenv?ning.tif

and see that it is a 8,312 x 3,308 pixel architectural drawing.

Again, I ask the question, is there a reason you’re using the tif format instead of JPG. The list of images being downloaded is huge and the one that I looked at was 788k. If they’re all that big, that’s a huge payload on that page.

I don’t know what you’re trying to accomplish with this web site, but a drawing that size isn’t going to be able to be displayed on any monitor. If you’re making the drawings available for download, it would be better to display a thumbnail of the image in jpg form, and then include a link for them to right click and download the large tiff file.

Josh, .tif or .tiff doesn’t make a difference, just as .jpg or .jpeg doesn’t. The three character versions are just a nod to old DOS filenames that were limited to 8.3 format.

If I leave the page up for a long time, more images eventually load, although not the tiffs. I’ll leave it up for awhile in the background and see what happens.

I am actually not responsible for this web site anymore. I’m just trying to help the current administrator with this issue. I don’t know why the choise has been Tiff files, but I guiess that it’s just the format that they came in.

The idea with this section of floor plans and drawings is to make them available for download, the same way as they are presented in Firefox.

No way to make the Tiffs be visible as downloadable files (links) in all browsers?

To make them links, just do something like:

<a href="/images/2015-nascar-sprint-cup-schedule.gif" target="_blank">2015 Sprint Cup Schedule</a>

Of course change the URL and text. Then, the browser will either display it or download it. You’re just linking to a image instead of a HTML page.

OK, that might stop the time out/freeze issue. But even if the browser isn’t trying to open the images automatically when the page is loading, each image might still not be accessable when it’s link is clicked in IE or Safari?
