[Zope] <img src="... problem with Firefox

25 Oct 2005

      Hi all,

i have a problem with Firefox.
  As you can see bellow i am retrieving some data from sql server with
the use of external method "GetPrList" and then show taht data.
  The data of "_['sequence-index']==2" is the full name of an image file
to the file system.
  So i use:
<a href="file///<dtml-var expr="str(_['sequence-item'])">">
<img src="file///<dtml-var expr="str(_['sequence-item'])">" alt="Alt
Text" width="150" height="150" >
</a> to show that image.
  I works fine with IE 6 (both the image shows and the link works), but
when i try it with firefox it does not show the image neither the link
works. The only thing i can see is the "Alt Text" marked as hyperlink,
that shows like
"http://localhost:81/Members/demo/Panorama/PriceList/Test_A_Voisys/file///%5C..."
witch tells me that it adds
"http://localhost:81/Members/demo/Panorama/PriceList/Test_A_Voisys/" to
what i tell it to be.

I quess this is the same reason why the image does not show.
How can i tell that what i ask as src="... and href="... is not relative
but absolut?

Do i do something else wrong so that the image does not in Forefox
only?

I have tried chenging the settings of firefox about image loading but it
does not seem to work...

Thank you in advance...
