That depends if your host allows .htaccess files or not. Try creating a file called .htaccess in the same directory as your css files, with the following contents (the next line only): AddType text/css css But try getting them to change the MIME type first. The whole point of strict validation is that it only works if everything is right, so really your pages (on that server) never did really validate as CSS.
