< a href="\website\file_name.htm">file name</ a> (put spaces so not to screw up
the viewing of the code) is placing junk code in the line:

http://www.myfirstsecuritytitle.com/%5Cwebsite%5Caddendum_contract_sale_purchase.htm

were are the %5C coming from?  that is not in the code on my web page.  this
prevents firefox from viewing anything beyound the index.html page as nothing is
able to read the line properly.  the line reads \website\file_name.htm...

I have looked for a setting to change how firefox reads the site, but i have not
been able to find one.  this is a major issue with reading basic straight HTML.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open page
2.click on link.
3.get bad code.

Actual Results:  
get bad code.  i can manualy navigate to the proper URL, but that is the
problem.  the a href is not working and only not working in firefox.  it works
fine in Opera and IE.

Expected Results:  
not changed the code and left the a href alone to alow the link to work
properly.  NOTE this is on a LAN URL, the DNS has not propagated yet, and should
not until about the 10-14th of July 2004.

a href="\website\file_name.htm"

This is invalid because a backslash is not allowd in a URL and a backslash must
be escaped..

This is valid and should work:
a href="/website/file_name.htm"

Summary: firefox is placing extra code in a line when trying to follow simple a href="\dir\filename" preventing the link from working. → backslash in path (images, css) causes them to not be displayed
