(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

If you use <link href="..\styles.css" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css"> it won't
load, but when you use <link href="../styles.css" rel="Stylesheet"
type="text/css"> it would load. Ik know that de \ is not correct to use in an
url, but when you use dynamic links and you're not good with computers, you type
it wrong and then it won't load. For some beginners it is not a good thing.

This "bug" is also known with images and url's. If you have a link to an other
page (like. images\image.aspx) then it does work, but then when you use on that
pages aan img tag like this: <img src="..\pics\pic.jpg"> it won't work, because
he uses the wrong base directory.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. put a stylesheet in your basemap
2. put a webpage in a submap wich uses your stylesheet in the base map
3. but use this location: ..\stylesheet.css and not ../stylesheet.css

Actual Results:  
Won't load the stylesheet.

Expected Results:  
Also use the \ als directory splitting (like Internet Explorer). If you want to
use the \ in a url als data you can always use urlencode.

This is basically the same issue as bug 121839, suggest WONTFIX.
