The problem with the non-standard compliant behavior of IE in this

is the URI may contain \ (back-slash) as non-hierarchical separator,
therefore IE will incorrectly transform it to a forward slash and

being
"clever" about incorrect URIs containing back-slashes instead of
forward
slashes for hierarchical path separators.
So you said that SM is not clever enough to transform it to a forward
slash ?
No, I said: "SM is not 'clever' about", which was meant as "SM is not
stupid to". Sorry for not being clear enough.
You are wrong because when i propose to SM the following:
file:///C:/Program Files/Abyss Web Server/htdocs/IMAGES\pose-yoga.jpg
he shows me the picture and modify his URL-adress-zone as follow:
file:///C:/Program Files/Abyss Web Server/htdocs/IMAGES/pose-yoga.jpg
Why SM is clever with file adress and not with webserver adress ?
I think David E. Ross has given you a very probable explanation in
another reply:
news://news.mozilla.org:119/[email protected]
If you want to find out for real, you could ask the Mozilla devs in a
more technical group.
I will not go further, because SM gurus and devs think they are the best
... it's abnormal that SM works in every possible way except when the
page is on my isp web space. This was causing me lot of understandings
why it did not work when uploaded for "online" general use.
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.
As explained before http://localhost/IMAGES\pose-yoga.jpg with SM works
... localhost is a an access to "your_server" (mine)
Yes, on YOUR local system, that's my point.
If you try my examples, you'll find that it doesn't work on a remote server:

"local" systems are governed by whatever OS you're running locally.
Could you try ... with SM the following:
http://raymond.homedns.org/IMAGES\pose-yoga.jpg
WFM, with SM 2.0.6. -JW
