Description

[Jeff Williams]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6+) Gecko/20011128
BuildID:    2001112808

On some Web sites that use CSS, Mozilla is not applying any CSS styles at all;
instead, it uses the default style for each HTML element. The above URL
demonstrates this problem, and I've seen a few other sites that are broken; most
sites, however, work just fine.

The problem shows up only if I load the page from littlegreenfootballs.com. If I
save a copy of the HTML and CSS locally, modify the paths to the CSS files, and
open the local copy, Mozilla applies the CSS correctly. Likewise, when I copied
the files to a different Web server and opened them from there, Mozilla applies
the CSS correctly.

This seems to be a problem only for CSS styles; the browser applies the bgcolor
attribute correctly when it's used.

This has regressed since 0.9.6, which always applies the CSS correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Open the URL and look at the page's contents.

Actual Results:  None of the page uses the appropriate CSS styles.

Expected Results:  Numerous parts of the page should use different font weights,
families, and colors from the defaults, and the form widgets should be styled as
well.

Just remembered that I saw the same behavior on Windows NT with this build, so
changing OS to All.

Are they sending their CSS with a MIME type other than text/css?

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yep.  The site is in standards mode (4.01 transitional doctype with URI) and
sending the css as text/plain.  It should be text/css.

Evangelism.

I assume there's a bug for this change, since we recognize the CSS files in
0.9.6; can anyone point me to it?

Another site that has the same problem: http://giantant.com/antenna/

Sure thing.  Bug 46225.

Could you file an evangelism bug on giantant.com?  Or should I do it?

Comment 9

[Jeff Williams]

This page now displays correctly, but only because the doctype was removed--the
server still uses text/plain for CSS files.
