ok, i think we got it.
def items(request):
item_list=Item.objects.all()
return render(request, 'myapp/items.html', {'items_list':items_list},
content_type="text/css")
you are returning html and text/css. Your HTML includes a CSS but that is a
different story. The Browser will ask for the included CSS file in a different
request to the server and the server responds with a static file from disk
without going through any of your views.
so just remove content_type
or put it to text/html which is the default.
Your browser thinks it is a CSS file instead of HTML.
cheers
