Why IMG tag of HTML renders null on Firefox?

<html>
<body>

    <img id="j_id58" width="800" border="0" height="400" src="c:/test/tmp/imageEE3A7BA3F55BC67061FD778F1B0136D6.png"/>
</body>
</html>

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

<html>
<body>
<img id="j_id58" width="800" border="0" height="400"
     src="file:///c/test/tmp/imageEE3A7BA3F55BC67061FD778F1B0136D6.png"/>
</body>
</html>

Try that.
