Phil,
This is a problem specifically with how Mozilla browsers on the Mac pass local
paths. This has been a problem for years. For local running of pages on a Mac
you need to use a different browser. The issue is that the Mozilla browsers
insist on passing absolute paths through the javascript. This causes a
security exception when running locally. Mozilla browsers work fine from the
web. I don't think we've ever tried to report this as it isn't an issue for
pages from servers.
Maybe we need to add something to the Wiki. The information is included in my
WebExport tutorial in the section on testing locally.
