Details

Build ID: 2000090808 I have a page (really a script) which lives in one directory. This script writes <img> tags which come from a different directory. Both are protected by the same AuthName and AuthUserFile, but mozilla never applies the password entered for the page to the images. If I manually load one of the images I'm asked for a username and password (which IMO shouldn't happen since the browser should already know). Then that image loads and if I go "Back" all the images appear. Netscape 4.7x does fine with this page. A sample of the code at URL http://www-hep.colorado.edu/FocusTalks/ViewTalk?meet=jun-2000&talk=Cho: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"> <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Kihyeon Cho: Spin-Parity Analysis of the f1(1285)pi System </TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <center><h1>Kihyeon Cho: Spin-Parity Analysis of the f1(1285)pi System </h1></center> <p> <a href=ViewSlide?talk=Cho&meet=jun-2000&page=01><img src=http://www-hep.colorado.edu/~e831/meetings//jun-2000/Cho/page01_tn.jpg></a> <a href=ViewSlide?talk=Cho&meet=jun-2000&page=02><img src=http://www-hep.colorado.edu/~e831/meetings//jun-2000/Cho/page02_tn.jpg></a> I'd be more than happy to give a username and password to a few people to get this problem resolved.
