Why does this not render any image when I open it on firefox but does it on IE 6?

A:
This is likely because you need a src attribute with a file:\\ scheme.
Try file:///C://test/tmp/imageEE3A7BA3F55BC67061FD778F1B0136D6.png in the src and see if it works.

I bet this will work if you use a file:// URL instead of a filename.

A:
Firefox doesn't support using the "C:/"-style path.
Instead use a relative URL or a real URL to that file hosted by a web server.
IE6 does support this.

Firefox requires the "file:///"-prefix when referencing local files.

In addition to the answers above, this is likely to fail if you load your HTML from an HTTP server.

A true classic... "But I see the images when I try it from my computer"... :)
