I am developing web application, in which it requires that the user selects image file from one of the drive like c:, D:, etc. And i wanted to show the selected image immediately in Browser in one corner. But this doesn't working using <img src> HTML tag. But this works fine in Internet Explorer. And i also tried to changed image path from \ to / ie Ex: C:\img.gif to C:/img.gif but this also doesn't work. If u have any solution to this please tell me.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Write one html page. Containing <img src tag
2.Write src="" actual path name with / Ex: C:/Pictures/img.jpg
3.Save and view it Mozilla browser
Actual Results:
The image is not displaying.
Expected Results:
Image should be displayed.

pkease look in the error console why this doesn't work and please search before you write a bug report.
BTW: c:/blah/foo.jpg is also not a correct URL.

The image is not displaying in the jsp page on Tomcat based web application.

No, you have written "Write src="" actual path name with / Ex: C:/Pictures/img.jpg" and you now are talking about tomcat but where are your examples and better steps to reproduce ?
For example:
1) access local tomcat server with http://127.0.0.1/test
2) in the loaded document an image with src=http://localhost/image.jpg doesn't load

you mean
1: access server with http://example.com/test
2) image src to file:///c:/image.jpg doesn't load
yes that's expected and you can read the reason in Firefox error console

I mean i have created web application, it has Tomcat as Web application Server.
And i have jsp page in which i have a File Browse Component through which i want to Load image and view it on Page when the image is selected.The image location is from any Drive of PC like C:, D: etc. The image is not displaying. Even i have changed image path from C:\image.jpg to C:/image.jpg . This does work when i save the file as HTML file. And the HTML page is kept outside TomCat folder.
The HTML code is as follows. Put this HTML code file in Tomcat/Webapps and in any application and run. The image is not viewing.

var Length=imgsrc.length;
var temp='file:///';
for(i=0;i<Length;i++)
{
if(imgsrc[i]=='\\')
temp=temp+imgsrc[i].replace('\\','/');
else
temp=temp+imgsrc[i];
}
document.forms[0].imgContainer.src=temp;
}
</script>

exactly what I told you in comment #1.
Look in the Firefox error console (Tools/Error Console) why this doesn't work (security restrictions).
You can load local files if the document itself is also loaded with file:// but in your case (tomcat web server) it's loaded with http://
Please do not open this bug again and please search before you file a bug, there are already a few bugs reported about this problem which is itself by design.
