Hi Guys,
Websites and browsers I do a lot.
I have 3 platforms in one room.

---------------
Linux:
Apache Error in FF
The requested URL /Construction\Frontend\preamp.gif was not found on
this server.

URL in address bar
http://www.k3pgp.org/Construction%5CFrontend%5Cpreamp.gif

---------------
Widows XP on FF
Same thing

IE does find the image.

---------------
Mac OS 10.4
FF Still same problem, no image.
Safari finds the image.
Opera finds the image.

Answer:
Pathway to image is given as MS path, not Unix style.
IE, Safari and Opera re-interpret the path as:

http://www.k3pgp.org/Construction/Frontend/preamp.gif
        (copied from Mac OS X - Opera)

FF does not re-interpret the path.

I think you're right.
