When I try to open a gif file at this URL (http:/www.adlogic.com.au/recruiter_skin/rubicor/jamesgall/template/myWebsite_def_templ/roundbutton2.gif) in a browser, it opens without any issues.
However, when I add the same gif URL in a style attribute, the gif does not load. Below is the code snippet:
<button
style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http:/www.adlogic.com.au/recruiter_skin/rubicor/jamesgall/template/myWebsite_def_templ/roundbutton2.gif) !important;
BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px;
TEXT-ALIGN: center;
BORDER-LEFT: 0px;
PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px;
TEXT-TRANSFORM: uppercase;
PADDING-LEFT: 0px;
WIDTH: 130px;
PADDING-RIGHT: 0px;
DISPLAY: block;
COLOR: #fff;
FONT-SIZE: 11px;
BORDER-TOP: 0px;
CURSOR: pointer;
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
BORDER-RIGHT: 0px;
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
PADDING-TOP: 4px">Email to a Friend</button>
It seems that I am encountering this issue because the gif is being used on a different domain.
