Weird issue, same code, same browser, two different apache servers,very different css

[bluebaron]

I have an issue with the same page displaying in IE8. The pages are
located on two different servers which have different configurations.

The diffs of the servers outputs are exactly the same. No changes.
However, the resultant html after processing has pages and pages of
differences. What could be causing this?

It is the styling that is different between the pages.

Example:
@@ -90,7 +90,7 @@
LINE-HEIGHT: 36px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; WIDTH: 416px;
PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; BACKGROUND: url(/images/search-bk.png) no-repeat
left top; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 36px; COLOR: #898989; FONT-SIZE: 16px;
PADDING-TOP: 5px
}
INPUT#SEARCH {
- LINE-HEIGHT: 22px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; WIDTH: 405px; BORDER-TOP-
WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; HEIGHT: 22px; COLOR: #898989;

}

Who knows, you did not supply URLs! Are we suppose to guess? If so a
solution is not likely.

Aside of that snippet looks like very bad example of CSS, disassociated
from the page AND server it is meaningless.

I figured out the issue. It was literally the url. I actually
modified a windows host file to point "b.b" to my internal computer,
and it works now. If I have any url without a . it does not work.
What the heck.

DNS issue...

What to you mean without a "." ? As in a relative URL "./" or "../"? If
so you your document root is different, you are using a webserver right?
