Hi,

I'm having a weird behavior at one of my zones, the thing is that no banner is showing for a big % of the time, instead, a broken image icon shows up.

Opening the OpenX delivery url I got this HTML.

CODE
www.myopenxserver.com/delivery/afr.php?zoneid=15&source=3342&target=_blank&cb=13099352342


CODE
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'>
<html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xml:lang='en' lang='en'>
<head>
<title>Advertisement</title>
<style type='text/css'>
body {margin:0; height:100%; background-color:transparent; width:100%; text-align:center;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href='F' target='_blank'><img src='F' border='0' alt=''></a>
</body>
</html>


I checked the zone at the openx panel and open each banner linked to the zone, every single one was working properly.

Someone have ever seen something like this?

Thanks!

Try using javascript embedding (ajs.php) instead of iframe (afr.php)

My guess is that you either have not setup a remnant campaign in your zone (which is REQUIRED to prevent blanks) or you have some image banners that arent exactly the size that the zone requires (however, unless you use *x* size, i.e. custom size, it shouldnt even allow you to link such banners).

Anyway, check your zone probability page, and double-check each banner that shows up on that zone probability page

Hi, thanks for your answer, i've been heading in the direction you said but i couldn't get any good results... I have deleted and recreated the zone and change the tag type with no luck...

When i'm using ajs.php intead of afr.php y get the following code:

CODE
var OX_3a60e62a = '';
OX_3a60e62a += "<"+"a href=\'F\' target=\'_blank\'><"+"img src=\'F\' border=\'0\' alt=\'\'><"+"/a>\n";
document.write(OX_3a60e62a);


I have been debugging the HTTP too and I found that only the first call to the openx server is acctually done, so i guest in place of the worng code it sould load de 1x1 pixel for the impression counting, but for some reason it is not...

Any ideas?

It is fixed now biggrin.gif

The problem was that the banner zone (...afr.php?zoneid=15&source...) on the URL didn't exist... and looks like OpenX sends you that HTML response when the zone doesn't exist. I don't know if it is because of the debug mode or it is like this.
