Probably what's happening here is that:
a) You don't have an index_html in Home, in which case it's acquired
from /
or
b) You are using standard_html_header and standard_html_footer in /Home
which are acquired from /.
"b" probably explains the behavior you suggested in your following
paragraphs (which I snipped).
