Yup, that figures. If you put an img tag with an empty string as src into a browser, they all behave differently:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http:// www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <title>Generic Test Page</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- * { color:inherit; background-color:inherit; border- color:inherit; } html { color:#FFFFFF; background-color:#330000; } --> </style> </head> <body onload="javascript:alert(document.getElementById('NullSrc').src);"> <h1>Generic Test Page</h1> <img src="" id="NullSrc" alt="Empty image src property test" title="Empty image src property test"> </body> </html> When I run this on the browsers I have available for testing, FF3 gives you the page URL, IE the directory of the page, and only Opera 9 correctly gives you an empty string. Note that, AFAICT, FF and IE are actually *replacing* the empyty URL with the values given above.
