    <p>How can the name of a folder/file affect how a page renders client width in Firefox v16.0.2? </p> <p>I locally developing a website using CSS, jQuery, HTML, &amp; notepad++ as my editor. I also have to use dreamweaver (DW) during site testing, CMS, &amp; production deployment. Using DW is a non-negotiable aspect of this project, but the site is moving from DW in a year or two so DW integration is supposed to be minimal. I suspect the issue lies with DW, but I need help rooting it out.</p> <p>The issue is that the homepage, and only the homepage, renders differently depending on the name of the folder. When opening the homepage from the top level directory, named <em>siteBeta</em>, the page renders in a smaller width than it should. If I copy the entire contents of <em>siteBeta</em> to a folder w/any other name, rename the <em>siteBeta</em> folder, or rename the homepage.html document the page renders properly.</p> <p>I have a sneaking suspicion that there is a hidden file or file association somewhere, but I'm at a loss to find it.</p> <p>Of course the easy solution would be to rename the file/folder, which is the course I am taking now, but it is driving me crazy as to why this is happening.</p> <p>I've pored over the output of both a properly rendered page, and the improperly rendered page in firebug. Scrolling through all aspects of layout, computed output, and DOM elements. The only difference I can find is the width properties (clientWidth, offsetWidth, etc.) of the page.</p> <p>This defect occurs with CSS references removed, jQuery references removed, and with all references removed. The only constant is that <em>siteBeta</em>/homeTab/homePage.html renders the client width ~100px narrower than every other page. This happens if opened in a browser through dw, or via directly opening the file in a browser.</p> <p>The real kicker is that IE8 doesn't have this issue rendering clientWidth properly.</p> <p>I will gladly provide any additional info needed, and I thank you in advance for your time &amp; any hints or direction you may provide.</p>
