HTML pages are blank when run in IE7 from address line
I have run across some very wierd HTML behavior. I am running IE7 on Vista Ultimate, upgraded from Vista Home Premium. When I put in the localhost address for an html page, I get no error message ... the progress bar at the bottom acts as if a page is loading ... but I get a blank page. If I look at the source code for the page, it is a blank document ... with this code
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HE
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
If I navigate to the folder in Windows Explorer where the html file is located and double click it, IE opens it and renders it perfectly, as C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.ht
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HE
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

Thanks. I can, but I do not believe it is a content issue. No HTML is working.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
</head>
this is html text!
</html>
I put in the doc type and the content-type after based on the blank page content I was seeing in the source. I have also tried it with plain html as ...
<html>
<body>
this is html text!
</body>
</text>
Pretty plain, huh? When I put the address in IE7 (or Firefox) the tab header and the address bar shows me the address and the name of the file, but the page is blank.
