Final analysis:

You have constructed a URI that is invalid according to RFC 3986 because
it uses \ in place of / to represent part of the path to an image file.

The Gecko engine used by Firefox and SeaMonkey complies with RFC 3986.
Thus, SeaMonkey fails to give you what you expect.  You continue to
insist that SeaMonkey give good results from bad input.

IE "guesses" what you really meant by that invalid URI and gives you
what you expect.  In some cases, such guessing can cause errors.

Rather than correct your URI, you want Gecko (and thus Firefox and
SeaMonkey) to be broken.  I strongly suspect that such breakage will
never happen.  Since I'm not a developer, I can't give an absolutely
definitive answer on this.

I do know that the same problem has been reported in the past by others,
and they all corrected their URIs.  You seem to be alone in insisting
that Gecko be changed to give good results from bad input and in
refusing to correct your HTML.  I refuse to deal with this any further.

TROLL!
