[gutvol-d] the .html version of e-text #15701

i'm trying to look at the .html version of #15701, which i downloaded as a zip file to my own machine, and it seems to require an open internet connection. it wants to call the w3 or something. why? even with such a connection, it won't display in ie5.1. works in opera 5, but not internet explorer. why not? and the .html version of #15698 won't work in either one... help, anyone? -bowerbird
