From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020310 BuildID: 2002031005 i'm not sure if this should actually be an RFE or if it should count as tech evangelism, but i have encountered some sites that fail to respond appropriately when Mozilla displays an entire path after browsing for a file upload. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. launch Mozilla. 2. visit http://weborder.kinkos.com/ 3. place an order, which involves uploading a file 4. submit. Actual Results: the order failed because there were foreign characters in the filename, as a result of Mozilla displaying the expanded path in the filename field. Expected Results: the form should've submitted properly. i'm not sure how IE handles this differently, but after browsing for a file, it only displayed the basename.
Bug in the site's code... they split the filename on "\" for windows and "/" for Unix but not on ":" for Mac...

Summary: file upload introduces too many characters → kinkos.com - file upload introduces too many characters
with a few difficulties, i was actually able to get the file submission process to work under Chimera. they've redesigned the system since i first filed this bug, and it's still problematic for Mozilla-based browsers, but i was ultimately able to submit an order. sorry i don't have more details about what happened the most recent time. i was in kind of a rush when i submitted my most recent order. i haven't tried it under Mozilla in a while, though.
Mozilla Mach-O uses / as the path separator for file handling, which means it should work now. Retest?

Last I recall, Kinko's had changed the site considerably since I reported this bug. It might very well be a non-issue, at this point.
