I am developing a web page with a text editor and testing with
Internet Explorer Ver 8 and Firefox 3.6.10.  I used a web based CSS
generator to generate the skeleton page.

The page uses a style sheet and what has been completed so far is
basically just the Navigation Panel with drop down menus.

The work was getting saved to the desktop.   The work consisted of a
parent directory called "test" which contained a file called
"index.html" and a directory called "images"containing images.

Both browsers happily rendered the page the same as far as I can tell
and was happy with the progress.

I decided to copy the folder to my H: drive which is a networked drive
located on the same sub-net (cant see why this is important).

Now, when I open the page in I.E. it displays the Nav Panel
differently.  The page begins to render closer to the top of the
browser window and the Text in the Nav Panel is pushed to the left and
this results in making the Nav Panel smaller and no longer aligns with
other elements correctly.  I spent considerable time getting these
alignments correct.

Firefox continues to render the page as before.

I have experimented by placing on other network drives and other users
desktops and the result is repeatable.

That is, if it is on a network drive it displays differently in I.E.

I have tried opening the index file from within the browser and also
by double clicking the file but there is no change in behavior.

How can the browser interpret the page different just because it is
coming from a networked drive.  This is not via a web server but the
server that hosts my H: drive also hosts a web server, a Windows type
web server I think..

I thought the whole idea of networked drives was that the system can
simply treat the drives as if they are local.

Anyone experienced this or anything similar.

Cheers Justin
