262809 - Direction of slashes not changed in parsing page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 176312

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Shaun Turner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

When entering the url http:\\www.mozilla.org\ in the address bar the direction
of the slahes are fixed to the correct format. IF the same exists in html code
in the <a> or <image> and probably other tags, eg <a
href="http:\\www.mozilla.org\"></a> the direction is not fixed. If the referance
is an image the image does not load, if the link is a hyperlink the browser
parses it as http://192.168.0.1/%5C%5Cwww.php.net, where the ip address
referances the server holding the source page. 

With IE there is not problem. it correctly interperates the page

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. see above description and weblink
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
slashes in links that where the wrong way around where not turned the right way
around and seemed to be "escaped" with %5C

Expected Results:  
Fixed the direction of the slashes.

This is probably a minor issue in the sceme of things, however i figured that if
the address bar fixes the slash direction slashes in code would be also fixed.
