This URL is totally invalid. There was a "bug" in the spec that did not specifically exclude this type of URL (although it should have) and rather than following the spirit, MS followed the letter and allowed this type of malformed URL. IE is notorious for allowing malformed URLs. They need to remove the "http:" part for the URL to be valid. -- jesus X [ Booze-fueled paragon of pointless cruelty and wanton sadism. ] email [ jesusx @ who.net ] web [ http://www.mozillanews.org ] tag [ The Universe: It's everywhere you want to be. ] warning [ "I hate cats.
