Re: [WSG] linking to images with //

[Alexander Gounder]

dear all

even is if / is repeated more than once in any URL, it is interpreted by
most browsers as just one /

You can try this on any site you visit which has subfolders.but if the
website is using a external CSS and images in another subfolder it won't
show.
for e.g. the pages is domain.com/pages/page1.html, using images "../images/"
then there could be some problem, though the page will still show.
