It never does this for me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to site. 2. Go to picture tab on the same page. 3. Click on any picture. Actual Results: Nothing...It just flashes the loading site thing on the top right of browser and never enlarges the picture. Expected Results: Open a javascript window in the same page, overlapping the text on that site and having an enlarged picture, or somethi that says "Please wait"
The JS script http://www.whimit.com:8080/javascript/dqm_script1.js called by this page is generating errors, and it appears this script drives the picture/click function. Error: syntax error Source File: http://www.whimit.com:8080/javascript%5Cdqm_ns6.js Line: 1 Source Code: <HTML> This may be a TE bug. It's not Image Blocking. ->B.G. for triage

That %5C looks suspicious. That's the hex code for '\', the Windows path separator (as opposed to the HTTP path separator, which is '/'), and I've seen it on a LOT of poorly coded web pages that work in IE (because IE turns '\' in URLs into '/') but nowhere else. Looks like Tech Evang::US General, but I'll let somebody else second it.
/me looks at the script It's all on one line, so I'll break it up for easier reading. /* ... */ document.write("<script language=\"JavaScript1.2\" "+ "src=\"http://www.whimit.com:8080/javascript\\"+ DQM_codebase+"dqm_"+brn+".js\"></script>"); /* ... */ The code is generating URIs with '\' in them. /me reads Bug 202317 (resolved invalid) and discovers the RFC defining URIs URIs containing '\' violate RFC 2396. RFC violations in web sites are listed under component Tech Evangelism. -> Tech Evangelism::USA; confirming

I've contacted one of the site maintainers with the following e-mail message: From: tepples(a)spamcop(.)net To: zoltan_gerts(a)hotmail(.)com Subject: A bug in Whimit's user pages A user of Mozilla internet software has reported an error in the code of the "Pics" section of Whimit user pages. Symptom: In http://SkinnyAbZ.whimit.com/ if I click one of the pictures, it opens in Internet Explorer but does not open in Mozilla. Cause: http://www.whimit.com:8080/javascript/dqm_script1.js generates URIs containing the '\' character. Suggested fix: In dqm_script1.js, replace src=\"http://www.whimit.com:8080/javascript\\" with src=\"http://www.whimit.com:8080/javascript/" More information is available at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202345 Thank you for your time. -- Damian
