<a href="\\ntserver\path\file.doc">link</a>

</html>

In IE it works fine, but Mozilla adds this URL to the current location.
www.somewhere.com --> www.somewhere.com/\\ntserver\path\file.doc
That's not a properly formed URL... URLs aren't file paths.  It's a nonstandard
Microsoftism that such system-specific things work in MSIE; local files are
supposed to be accessed by "file:" URLs, and the backslashes changed to forward
slashes to suit the proper URL (URI) syntax.

The correct format for the link should be:
file://///ntserver/path/file.doc

URI fixup handles some use inputed \'s, but HREFS should have correct URLs.
