I'm not certain, but you may be coming up against issues with the "Mark of the Web" security lockdown that Microsoft introduced on HTML files. Take a look at this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537628%28VS.85%29.aspx

It could be that because you emailed the file, it is locked down in the "Internet Security Zone", and thus Windows is restricted you from viewing the content properly.

I suggest you load a USB

I suggest you load a USB stick with a standalone editor like Notepad++. You can then set it up the way you want, and use the same editor at home and at work:

Thanks for replies.

I'm using IE7.

And yes, I was able to view the pages normally when I created them initially. The restricted sites thing only happened after I emailed them to myself at work, edited one or two of them in Notepad and emailed them back home.

I have to turn my security settings for "Restricted Sites" down in order to view the page, which is less than ideal.

I think I still have an old version of one of the pages that views fine in IE7 so I'll try to compare them as you suggest.

A slight sidestep to your main issue...

Correct me if I'm wrong ... but doesn't Notepad have a default char encoding of ANSI, and cannot be changed to others, utf-8 for example?

Besides, I'd be lost without syntax highlighting. Sure it's possible without it for simple HTML code, but once PHP or even complex nested tables in HTML comes into play syntax highlighting makes it so much easier.

I used to use Notepad++ when I used Windows. You could try that.

IE will for some reason

Greg K — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:56:56 +0000

IE will for some reason block tables from being viewed when you are viewing them locally (ie right off your hard drive) instead of off of a web server.

I could never figure out what it is protecting in a table... but it does do that.

Were you able to view the pages locally before you e-mailed them back and forth? It may be an issue with proper structuring the file that is tripping up IE.

If you still have the two versions, one that will open, and one that will not, try comparing them with a utility such as this one, which is free and does a great job highlighting differences:
