For someone outside all this tech thing (like me) it's hard to read that from the following (0.9.7 release notes): "* When a page using a strict document type declaration (e.g. HTML 4.01 Strict) links to an external style sheet (using <link>, @import, etc) Mozilla will load the style sheet only if it is served with a MIME type of "text/css"." I don't think one usually does investigate deeper into that than reading the release notes... Well, I updated our web server, so the problem is solved for me. Thanx! BTW: Has anyone contacted the Apache team telling them to add the text/css MIME type to the mime.types file by default? Or wouldn't that be so smart?
