Why doesn't Firefox display my HTML images correctly?

I have a website at www dot geo-gro dot com. In Internet Explorer, the page displays just fine. In Firefox, however, none of the images show up.

I scripted this page by hand and use <img src="nameOfPic.jpg"></img> tags.

Any ideas for how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Update:

Instead of showing the images, Firefox seems to show the image's <alt> definition. Help!

    Hi. First off. <img src="image_url.jpg" alt="whatever" /> is more correct than <img></img>

    That alone may fix the issue.

    Firefox displays the image's alternate text as you describe when the file is not found. Ensure that the path you are using to the image is correct. Make sure that you are using a URL referencing a web resource. If you are referencing something on your hard disk, IE will display it while FF can have it's security set as to disallow the behavior.

    If I could have a look at the actual code I could tell you more.

    ::EDIT::

    Just saw you did post the URL, looked, and yes the guy above me is right. I'll add that you should always put quotes around the values of your attributes. example: height="200"

    Your HTML is wrong:

    <img src="\images\logo_orange.jpg" height = 200 alt = "geo-gro.com: the shape of things to come"></img>

    First, you must not put spaces to the sides of your equals signs.

    Second, the slashes must slope the other way.

    Third, images do not have a closing tag </img> Instead, close it with a / before the >

    IE will correct these mistakes - Firefox will not.

    Try: <img src="/images/logo_orange.jpg" height=200 alt="geo-gro.com: the shape of things to come" />
