I *think* Kruser is asking how a web page with no suffix appears in some browsers but not others, not how directory and default pages are handled? Correct me if I am wrong.

If you are asking how a web page that should be called "www.domain.com/pagename.html" but is called "www.domain.com/pagename" (not a directory), the answer is that some browsers are more forgiving than others.

For example, if you do not close a tag correctly in a web page's code (e.g. a table cell), that page will break in some but not other browsers.

Hope that helps.
