The browser probably recognises you've made a mistake.

And at the end of the day it's all Microsoft's fault, as usual. There
was no reason not to use the already de-facto standard / as a directory
separator in DOS, but they just decided to be a bit different. Great.

Yes and because of this annoying error correcting habit, those who use
IE to test their website don't realise how many html coding errors they
have, hence it perpetuates even more need for browsers to cope with ever
more errors.
