Hi,

Right, some processors accept that form anyway, but it's not really correct.
There's also the old question - exactly what is the right syntax to use for
Windows file: URLs, anyway?



I believe that a fully correct file URL for the Windows file system is constructed like so:

file:///c|/dirname/filename.ext

Where one uses a pipe (|) instead of a colon (:) between the drive
identifier and the root directory slash. Directory slashes should be
forward, not back.

At any rate, IE6 recognizes the above syntax as valid. But that doesn't
really mean much. :)

You would do better if you avoid this type of thing - very limiting. Is there any way you can call it from a relative path? Windows will recognize paths like: ../content/boo.xml

best,
-Rob
