Browser: doesn't matter

Downloaded several HTML files to a folder on the desktop. Dbl-Clicked
one and it displays all garbled up in ANY browser, doesn't matter.

Copy/move any file out to the desktop and dbl-clicking it looks ok in
any browser. All html files downloaded to a folder then copied out to
the desktop does the same as explained.

Files contain CSS if that makes a difference.

Comments?

Thanks, Jay


Probably is to do with location of its support files - images or the .css
file(s) (especially if it uses external stylesheets). If you right-click the
html files and choose "Edit" and explore its code , then you can see where
it's looking for the various files.



That's not it as there are no external support files. But even so, that
doesn't explain why it works if I dbl-click the same file located on the
"Desktop". I'm thinking folder properties of some sort. Why does it NOT
work when the html file is located inside a folder and it DOES work from
the desktop. Puzzling to say the least.
