DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR is a predefined constant - http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.constants.php
Not sure what it's defined as under Windows XP.

Matt - what version of php are you running?

Bug description:
Using Mahara 1.2.6 on Windows XP and MySQL. Debugging using Firebug

The paths returned by $THEME->get_url() include use of DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR in the middle of a URL, which doesn't work.

The line caling it is 1029 of /artefact/form/elements/filebrowser.php:

        $pluginsheets = $THEME->get_url('style/style.css', true, 'artefact/file');

And the function causing the problem is get_path() on line 697 of /ib/web.php, which can be fixed by altering line 699 to this:

        $plugindirectory = ($plugindirectory && substr($plugindirectory, -1) != '/') ? $plugindirectory . '/' : $plugindirectory;

Original line 699:

        $plugindirectory = ($plugindirectory && substr($plugindirectory, -1) != DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) ? $plugindirectory . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR : $plugindirectory;
