Hi George,
When you say 'locally', do you mean that you have something like
'file:///C:/...' or 'C:\...' in the address bar of the browser? If so,
I would say that that is the problem - I think it's a case of 'Microsoft
knows best', with IE paying no attention to the doc type (Windows: "it's
just HTML, after all").
If, on the other hand, you mean that you are serving the page from a web
server on your local machine, then I'm stumped....
HTH,
Dan
