See also : Relative path names in img map files don't work with # in
root path

If you have some documents on a local PC where they are stored in a
directory with '#' in the name, and the html files include relative
links to other pages with the name of an anchor appended, as is
href="local.html#subject" to go to the local HTML page with the
specified 'subject' at the top of the page. This will not work if the
files are on a path such as 'C:\sna#fu' but will work if the direcory
is renamed to 'C:\snafu'.

It looks like the URL parsing stops at the first '#' and says
everything after this is the name of an anchor in the page, and then
it looks at the rest of the URL for the name of the page, which in the
first case is 'C:\sna' which does not exist!

This all works fine in FireFox, fails in IE6 & IE7.

If the directory name is sna#fu, try sna%23fu in the HTML.

But these are relative path names, so 'c:\snafu' or 'c:\sna#fu' do not
appear in the html file(s).
This is a bug in IE I feel, not my html (which is output by Doxygen)
and it all works in FireFox.
