This bug I've only realised with the page http://www.dunaweb.hu/~martong, but I
guess it should happen in more cases. The same happened under wxp and linux,
also it should be an OS independent bug. On the above page, there are links
which show onto sub-pages, e.g.
http://www.dunaweb.hu/~martong/eskuvo_elott_43/eskuvo_elott.html. This is
correctly solved by IE, but not with Firefox. Firefox solves this when clicking
the link as http://www.dunaweb.hu/~martong/eskuvo_elott_43%5Ceskuvo_elott.html.
When locating the link with the mouse, it looks like
http://www.dunaweb.hu/~martong/eskuvo_elott_43\eskuvo_elott.html.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Clicking on the link.:)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
http://www.dunaweb.hu/~martong/eskuvo_elott_43%5Ceskuvo_elott.html

Not Found

The requested URL /~martong/eskuvo_elott_43\eskuvo_elott.html was not found on
this server.

Expected Results:  
Open the link http://www.dunaweb.hu/~martong/eskuvo_elott_43/eskuvo_elott.html
correctly.

what you see as link is the (bad)code on that page

That's pretty nice again from Bill and Co.:-/ But IE can solve it in the right
way, that's really interesting. Cannot be solved this in Firefox as well? I
tried to mirror the site with wget under linux, and wget behaved the same way as
firefox.
