spaces in image names

[Jeff Thies]

I have some html that looks like this:

<img src="some_image
..jpg" alt="">

with a line feed in the image path.

IE6 and Opera7 both render the image. That surprises me as I expected a
broken image.

Is html supposed to ignore the white space in the path?

I'm trying to decide whether to reload the data and fix that...

RFC2396 Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax

<quote>
E. Recommendations for Delimiting URI in Context
[...]
In some cases, extra whitespace (spaces, linebreaks, tabs, etc.) may
need to be added to break long URI across lines. The whitespace should
be ignored when extracting the URI.

fix it. break it somewhere else. e.g:

<img src="some_image.jpg"
alt="">

Browser error correction. You have been lucky.

I would think so. What does the validator say?

style the whitespace "color:#000000;" and maybe it'll cancel it out.
