[Techtalk] graphs displayed in IE but not firefox

[Wim De Smet]

Yes, this was probably because the backward slashes are not valid in a
URI/URL (does anybody know the difference between the two btw?). If
you're interested, the definitive explanation of what constitutes a
valid URI is probably RFC 3986. [1]
There's also a list of registered schemes that can appear in a URI
(http,ftp,...) [2]

Anyway, had some extra time to look it up.. :-)
