Oh does it? How come it displays all those web sites fine which have
html distantly related to w3c? And let's not get started on
javascript... :)))

This has been adequately covered in the thread now.

Bit of a lamer this one, Zane? ;)))

Funny you mention Microsoft. Making assumptions on the content of files
just by their name is a *bad idea*(TM). To find out where that gets
you, just look to Redmond. In answer to your flamebait: to the
contrary. *You* are.

Konqueror gets it right, it doesn't make dangerous assumptions and
renders as html (like a web browser should). Why do you think a file
called something.php has php code in it?

> Have you looked at the paths etc to the css inside the html file?

Yes, first thing I checked, they're all local, i.e. no http:// and the
fact that konqueror finds it means the respective style.css file exists
on local disk.

> Have you actually established that there is something to fix?

Yes. Treating file:// URIs the same as http:// URIs is a bug. Have you
ever looked how many browsers can't render an html file called
"/tmp/server.net/someplace.asp?var1=X&var2=whatever"?

Hm, not with my konqueror 3.1.1.

This line is only active when the form is submitted (this hardly ever
works with html pages saved to local disk).

Sorry I can't see why mozilla didn't load the css when I double-checked.
Guess I should have triple-checked ;)
