This page used to look much better in Mozilla, but some time ago (don't exactly
know when) the stylesheet stopped loading. I changed nothing in the file, so i'm
suspecting Mozilla...

The page validates (CSS and XHTML) on the W3c validator and looks fine in 0.9.5
and IE6

(note: this page is programmed to install itself as a sidebar).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Load the page and see

Actual Results:  No styles

Expected Results:  Should use the appropriate stylesheet
Stylesheets are applied correctly when put explicitly in the header in <style>
tags. Stylesheets fail to load when referenced in a <link /> tag.
It's probably because the stylesheets aren't sent as text/css.
The strange thing is taht the same page, and stylesheet do load from my
harddrive and look fine, but when I upload them they don't. Could this have
anything to do with the fact that the server I'm using returns
content-type:text/plain instead of text/css ??
But this worked before, and I can't change the contenttype on this server as it
is a public (for all students) one. Why has this changed?
Because the content type sent by the server says what type of file is being
sent, and if the server says it's not text/css, then our CSS parser shouldn't
handle it.  (We only do this in strict mode.)

But this page is transitional which makes this a NEW and not an INVALID
Ok, I thought you meant XHTML STRICT, not strict (or standards) mode.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Jesse, see the 0.9.7 release notes which not only talk about this issue but also
explain how to make most Apache servers (which the server you are using happens
to be) do the right thing for your files even if you are not administrator.

If you would be willing to contact your server administrator and let him or her
know that the server is misconfigured, that would also be much appreciated.
