File structure on the local system follows the rules of the particular OS involved whereas on a "server", the convention in most cases is quite different and therefore interpreted differently by the browser. file:/server/directory/file.htm is server based file:/c:/directory/file.htm is local system based and the browser will automatically insert two more // such as: file:///c:/directory/file.htm Your image is displayed because everything following the file:/// is interpreted as being formatted locally and local rules apply, therefore the backslash \ is rendered correctly. If you try: http://your_server/directory/images\image.jpg will usually not work because the \ is an illegal character as such in some browsers but not all browsers. IE guesses that the \ is really a / and will work.
