    If you are using absolute paths with drive letters, e.g. <img src="C:\www\images\foo.png" alt="foo">, it will work with Internet Explorer but not with Firefox. If you include drive-letters etc. in the path, the path becomes Windows specific, something that IE can understand but other browsers may not.

    To fix the problem, you should use relative paths, e.g. <img src="images\foo.png" alt="foo">. The path should be relative to the HTML file where this code is present.

    Most often, web pages are written to be hosted on web servers. Images are usually put under an ‘images’ directory inside the document root (web-root), say, /images/foo.png. Now, the home page at /index.html can include this image either using a relative path: <img src="images/foo.png" alt="foo"> or an absolute path (path from the document root): <img src="/images/foo.png" alt="foo">. Note the usage of forward-slash as opposed to back-slash. You should use forward-slash. Back-slash is very Windows specific and other browsers may not understand it.

    The same applies for CSS or any other paths used in your HTML documents.
