if the path of the image (or another files) contain "\" mozilla dont' trasform
it in "/", like IE do.

es: if the html contain a link to "images\logo.gif", IE transform it in
"images/logo.gif" and find the file, mozilla no.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a page htm
2.put in an image that is in a sub dir and use \ es ref"image\try.gif"
3.open the htm (from web, not in local) whit mozilla
4. modify the htm replacing \ whit / and it'll work

This is at best an RFC: "treat \ as / in URLs".
I can't see any good reason why mozilla should translate \ to /. / is the
standard. Live with it.

RFE that is.

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

This has been discussed.  It has been rejected.  IE's behavior breaks some
perfectly valid links to files that happen to have "\" in the filename.  Since
IE/Mac, Unix browsers, etc do not handle this "\" stuff anyway, we decided not
to support it in Mozilla/Windows.

Over to evangelism -- this site needs to fix the links.

Site is now under construction.

Should we close this bug ?

Comment 6

[Eric Daspet]

At this time the only links containing an antislash (\) are two images begining
with "file://C:/....".

Only have to put images on website and do links accordingly

[Riccardo Cretti]

I tried the site with both IE and Firebird, they look exactly the same and work
the same.
There is only a link to an email in the site now.
I think this bug could be closed.
