276714 - h11.ru - invalid IMG src paths (uses backslash "\")

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Evgeny]

Open URL in IE and in Firefox and compare the content - two big pictures visible
in IE disappear in Firefox.

In addition title color is not rendered correctly (assuming that IE does good
work rendering text color).

Thanks,
Evgeny

The coding in the HTML page to display the images is incorrect.  An example from
the page is:

<IMG alt="&#1055;&#1086;&#1083;&#1077; &#1076;&#1083;&#1103; &#1080;&#1075;&#1088;&#1099; &#1074; &#1085;&#1072;&#1088;&#1076;&#1099;." src="images\towrites\nard\pole.gif">

Note the '\' characters.  These should be '/'.

Internet Explorer treats the '\' character the same as the '/' which is NOT
correct behavior according to the HTML standard.  So the page displays the
images as the page author intended in Internet Explorer, but the real issue is
that the page coding is not correct.

I see no difference in the color display of any of the other images on the page
between Firefox and IE.

The issue still exists. The paths are written with windows style. '\' instead of '/'. It doesn't work anywhere but IE.

The URL on this bug no longer links to a page with the errors described in the bug -- it looks like the page is redirecting to another page that requires authorization. Images present at the new destination appear in Firefox 47.

Yeah, the page doesn't exist anymore. Let's close.
