OK, today's problem is...

I have an image tag. I want to populate it with a local image path, which I get from a javapplet. I have the path, I pass it into my function, and call

imageTagRef.src="file://"+imagePath

This works in Safari, but not in firefox. If I use firefox to open the file from the menu it gives me file://pathtoimage, so why doesn't firefox recognize that in javascript?

ideas?
