[WSG] Re: CSS not rendering in Mozilla

[Universal Head]

Thanks for the help on this. It's working ow, though I'm very confused as to why to tell you the truth. I asked my host about the MIME type and he said it was set to text/css (his server software is Webstar btw). Yet it still wouldn't work. It was only after he flushed the server cache that it suddenly started working.

Strange, but the problem appears to be fixed. Thanks again for the help!

Peter,

I have had a similar problem with the BHP Billiton site recently. It
looks like the server does not have the mime type for CSS set
correctly.

In Mozilla, if you select Tools, Web Development, then Javascript
Console, you should see an error message reading:

Error: The stylesheet http://www.cinema4duser.com/css/main.css was
not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".

This is a problem on the server end, where they either don't have the
experience or the knowledge to set up mime types properly. I woulod
hazard a guess and say that the CSS mime type is set to
"text/x-pointplus.
