The markup
<img src="IMAGES\pose-yoga.jpg" alt="pose-yoga.jpg">
has a path to the image with a back-slash (\). That makes the path
invalid for something on a Web server.
IE interprets this as a forward slash (/), but that interpretation is
not always correct.
SM did not work correctly when the page is located in my ISP webserver
space.
BUT in local by the use of a webserver or directly by :
file:///C:/TEST/didyouseethepicture.htm SM see the image.
IE see the image by file, on a local webserver and on my isp webserver
space.
The "interpretation" of IE is always correct.
if the "\" is replaced by "/" SM and IE works correctly in the 3 cases.
Therefore SM miss a point.
No, you have missed at least two points.
If the file is on your local PC running Windows, then
file:///C:/TEST/didyouseethepicture.htm
is the same as
file:\C:\TEST\didyouseethepicture.htm
Even SeaMonkey recognizes the \ in this case. But the URI will not work
for a file on a Web server if you use \ where the proper symbol is /.
When \ appears in a URI, either the user made a mistake or else it
stands for something other than /. IE was programmed to "guess" that
the user meant / when \ is used in a URI, which can be quite wrong if
the user meant something else. SeaMonkey follows the standards by not
guessing; this is also true of the other Gecko-based browsers.
The processing done by IE -- including the interpretation of \ in a URI
-- is definitely NOT always correct. Especially when trying to
interpret user errors, IE is very often wrong.
But The markup
>> <img src="IMAGES\pose-yoga.jpg" alt="pose-yoga.jpg">
works with SM when accessing the page in local or on a local webserver.
Therefore SM is wrong when he got a good result .... because you said
that SM is correct when he cannot display the picture when the page is
on my isp webserver.
IE is more coherent, he work in all cases.
