<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/styles/blueyonder_main.css">

Styles are not being applied to the page.  "bz" mentioned on IRC that servers
are sending the wrong content type details with the file.  Instead of sending
text/css, application/x-pointplus is being sent.

This only applies in strict mode with DTD statement.
Adding the following into a .htaccess file should solve the problem.

 AddType text/css .css

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load URL
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Formatting and text is in browser's default fonts etc.

Expected Results:  Fonts and other styles should be applied to parts of the page.
Yep, I can confirm this, I was part of the discussion on IRC.

The reasoning is because we are in strict (standards) mode.  To solve this, they
can either remove the URI from the DTD, or fix the way their server sends .css
files.

I can't find any contact info though.

Their main page, http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/ also has the same problem.  Here,
we get switched in to standards mode because of the SYSTEM DTD.  They also might
fall prey to the image descender problem (bug 22274) on the main page.
WFM on Moz 096, except small glith on the top menus (News, Gaming, Compete...)
with menu items being lowered by 2 px)
Setting P4.
Severity to Trivial.

> WFM on Moz 096

Tristan: yes it works on 096.  This is a new feature that landed days after we
branched for 096.  It is in 097 and we have a release note on it.  Look again in
097 or a nightly.

Back to normal, and clearing priority for re-evaluation
Severity: trivial → normal
Priority: P4 → --
Caillon: I am running 097 and N621, and they render the same as IE5. (excepted
the small menu glitch mentionned previously). Can you elaborate ? Has the web
site been updated ?
The web site seems fine now on build 2002010608 Win32.  I don't know if it's
been updated or not.
Attached image Screenshot
This is made using Linux build 2002010706.

There are supposed to be boxes around the text.  The "Game Highlights" and
"News" headings are supposed to have a blue background, and the text has a
whitish background.  At the moment I don't have access to MSIE to see what it
looks like there, but if it looks the same as this screenshot, then the page is
worse than I thought.
Confirming on 098 on Win2000.

FWIW,

A search for "css" and "mime" reveals 6-8 bugs that I believe are related to the
mime type issue.

I first saw this when I upgraded from 0.9.5 to 0.9.8.  The problem continued
when I recently upgraded to 0.9.9.  From what I've read, this first appeared in
0.9.7 but I can't confirm that.

I spent some time wringing out CSS rendering and quickly confirmed that my
server was sending the mime type as "text/plain" when it clearly should have
been "text/css".  After adding an entry to mime.types to my ISP's apache server
running on BSD, pages now render correctly in 0.9.8 & 9.  I went back to verify
IE and Opera continue to render correctly, but unfortunately could not recheck
on 0.9.5 since I killed that during the upgrade process.

All client-side work was done on Win2K:
