Description Tom Gufler 2003-11-05 15:44:36 UTC

Version:           4.0 (using KDE 3.1.93 (CVS >= 20031028), Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r2, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.0-test9

On the website http://www.lawine.at/tirol/messstationen...1.html is a gif picture called  messstationen_map_new.gif
The location of this picture is: http://www.lawine.at/images/messstationen_map_new.gif

The html code which shows the picture is like: 
<img src="../images/messstationen_map_new.gif" width="407" height="197" usemap="#tirol" border="0"> (it's in a table).

Mozilla, Opera interpret this as http://www.lawine.at/images/messstationen_map_new.gif (the real location of this picture) and the picture is therefore shown 

Konqueror however (also 3.1.4) misinterpret the location as  http://homes.tiscover.com/project/images/messstationen_map_new.gif (wrong location) and therefore the picture is not shown (in this table are before a few references to http://homes.tiscover.com)

Now _that_'s a fun bug :)

Comment 2 Stephan Kulow 2003-11-05 19:57:36 UTC

Please tell the webmasters that there are standards made up for HTML writing ;(

Attaching a test case to show the problem: pure invalid HTML

test case

Comment 4 Daniel Arnold 2005-02-25 22:53:01 UTC

I can still reproduce this bug with Konqueror on KDE 3.3.2a

*** Bug 117231 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 6 Allan Sandfeld 2006-06-16 14:16:32 UTC

Fixed for KDE 3.5.4

Comment 7 Allan Sandfeld 2006-06-19 01:06:16 UTC

I am going to pull my fix. At least until further investigation. 

It seems Firefox supports multiple BASE elements. They are all moved up to the header where they belong, but are only applied to the relative paths _after_ the original position. I suspect Firefox for the same reason is not capable of supporting Javascript created BASE elements.

Konqueror like Firefox moves them to the header, but then _acts_ like the BASE was in the header to begin with and applies it all elements.

Confirmed in 4.5.4. I attach a new testcase since the referenced image in comment 9 is no longer available.

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 10 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

Dear user,

KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6.

Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component.

We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes.

For security issues, please see:

https://kde.org/info/security/

Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
