This is for Firefox only, version 2.0 up to 3.0beta. I you want to help me out: On addons.mozilla.org the new version is still in the "sandbox". Please test and report there in case of success, here in case of failure ;) The new sandbox mechanism creates quite a delay. I only had to change a few things which affect all extensions hooking up to the context menu of FF 3.0, but changed code means a new round through the sandbox. Every positive report there helps. I hope to be able to check out TB compatibility soon.

Thanks for the clarification! So it is just as it is too often: FF is hurt by its following standards - because IE's not following means web developers don't follow them either.

This would do it: src="file://///C|/Program%20Files/Midrange%20Performance%20Group/Performance%20Navigator%2013/Factory/Output/S102B81C_CPU_CPW_byDate.JPG" The URI-escaping of the spaces via %20 and replacement of \ with / are according to spec, but aren't strictly required in most browsers, same goes for the pipe-symbol instead of the colon. See previous discussions on this list (via archives) about why the five leading slashes are there. BTW, uppercase file extensions are generally discouraged. --Volker On Mon, Mar 17, 2008 at 10:55 AM, Michael J Gruber wrote: > Doug Mewmaw venit, vidit, dixit 19.12.2007 20:14: > > > > I'm new to FireFox and need your help. > > > > Trying to use FireFox for HTML that is merely an report with JPGs, > > tables and text.

No, there is no way this could work: If you access your PHP pages via http your web server processes the PHP code and returns an HTML page. If you access your PHP pages via file (local links) then no web server is involved so that the PHP code is not processed. Michael
