Forward Slashes Do Not Work!

Hey I have installed Apache 2.0.54 and then latest version of PHP locally on my XP.

When I do this in my html code:
<form name=form1 action="/one/two/three">
</form>

the whole form tag is ignored by browsers (meaning that if I look at html's source through browser, everything before and after it will be shown, but not the form tag).

I have tried reinstalling Apache and the same problem exists...

If I put this, then it works fine (notice the slashes):
<form name=form1 action="/one\two\three">
</form>

Anybody know what the problem is - why I can't have forward slashes in the form tag?

Thanks!
 
Problem Resolved:

I was running Norton Internet Security 2005 (with Antivirus) and as soon as I turned it off and cleared the browser's cache, everything worked fine...

3 wasted days of headache thanks to norton. I didn't even know I could cuss like that...
