This is my favorite firefox specific "bug", still around in 30 I would guess:
http://jsfiddle.net/rk7ke/ http://jsfiddle.net/rk7ke/
Works fine in literally all other browsers. Oh well.
- boobsbr 12y agonope, doesn't work in Chromium 36.
- vxNsr 12y agoWhat's supposed to happen?
- scrabble 12y agoThe wrong slash has been used in the URL. It's supposed to be a broken image.
- JohnTHaller 12y agoThere's an invalid URI within the IMG starting with http:\\ instead of http:// http://. A mistake a beginner designer who's used to Windows directories would make. Some browsers like IE helpfully 'fix' this mistake and accept it so the beginner designers have no idea they're writing broken code. Other browsers like Firefox interpret it as written and show it as broken.
- vxNsr 12y agoHmm, with Chrome in W8 it shows an image, So I didn't see anything wrong...
- JohnTHaller 12y agoIt should remain a 'bug'. That's an invalid URL in the IMG tag and should be treated as such. The problem is some browsers 'helpfully' fix it and designers don't know they're writing invalid HTML. Browsers like Internet Explorer 'fix' it so designers never know. Browsers like Firefox show it as properly broken so designers fix their mistakes. That's why it's always important to test your site in a proper browser.
- DavidBradbury 12y agoI know you have 'bug' in quotes, but man, you know perfectly well that's not a bug and it would be complete silliness to allow that.
- cozuya 12y agoIs it though? I know standards are important, but what does it really cost a browser maker to be able to resolve paths with backslashes? Similarly, is it really that big of a deal to support background-position-x and y? The prime example of something should have been a spec from the beginning.
- cpeterso 12y agoThat road of good intentions leads to maintenance problems like HTML quirks mode and security issues (especially when allowing invalid URLs).
