783788 - Broken images under XP

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Graphics: Image Blocking, defect)

Description

[dh]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
Build ID: 20120713134347

Steps to reproduce:

In one HTML file I used and anchor tag: <a href="file://c:/REF/IRC/IRC_dh.htm/" 
target="WREF6">. The HTML file "c:/REF/IRC/IRC_dh.htm" resides in another directory. 


Actual results:

When I open the file "c:/REF/IRC/IRC_dh.htm" in Firefox everything appears OK! However, when I open it through another HTML file, I get the "Broken Image" icon for all the images.

I displayed the image information and I get the similar information for all the files: "file:///c:/REF/IRC/IRC_dh.htm/Images/IRCnet_Home2.jpg" which is incorrect. A sub-directory name "IRC_dh.htm/" is shown.




Expected results:

I expected the "c:/REF/IRC/IRC_dh.htm" file to be display the images as when I opened the file directly.

I opened the same files with the MS Internet Browser and everything worked good.

This was the first problem that I submitted to Mozilla. Evidently I did something wrong because I haven't received any kind of a response for several days now since submission. I need to get some kind of a notice on whether this problem will be corrected or not. I have a number of users that are waiting for me to release some HTML files. If I do not get a response soon I am going to include a notice that if the images don't appear while using Mozilla Firefox, that the use of a different internet browser should be considered.

I changed the priority and product catatory.

dh, your real issue was that you filed in the wrong product, one which doesn't seem to have anyone watching incoming bugs carefully.

What does your "another HTML file" look like?  Do you just mean that you follow a link to "c:/REF/IRC/IRC_dh.htm"?  Or is your link to "c:/REF/IRC/IRC_dh.htm/" (which would indicate that relative URIs in the HTML should leave the "IRC_dh.html/" part when being resolved)?

Boris Zbarsky,

To answer your question: my link is to "c:/REF/IRC/IRC_dh.htm/" from "c:/REF/REF.htm". In "c:/REF/IRC/IRC_dh.htm/" I try to open an image located in directory ""c:/REF/IRC/Images" with "<img src="Images/IRC_Chat_Window.jpg">"

c:/REF/REF.htm -
  ...
  <a href="file://c:/REF/IRC/IRC_dh.htm/" target="WREF6"> IRC_dh.htm  </a> - IRC CHAT.
  ...



c:/REF/IRC/IRC_dh.htm - 
  ...
  <img src="Images/IRC_Chat_Window.jpg">
  ...



c:/REF/IRC/Images  (directory)

  IRC_Chat_Window.jpg
  IRCnet_Home2.jpg
