Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English Other, defect)

Description

[Rainer Bielefeld]

No Problem with above mentionned url with NS6.2.1, NC4.7, ER6, Opera.
mozilla 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 seem to ignore stylesheets (?) and show the page on my PC
ans shown under
http://home.t-online.de/home/bielefeld__Buss_oHG/mozilla/opera.jpg

Comment 1

[Rainer Bielefeld]

I've got the hint for this bug from annoter user in de.comm.software.mozilla

Comment 2

[Rainer Bielefeld]

Reason of the Problem seems to be
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
in the source code
(hint of Stefan Einspender)

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-5, no longer working on Mozilla)]

What happens if you put '@charset "ISO-8859-1";" at the top of the CSS file? 
What about '@charset "UTF-8";'?  I'd think we're assuming the stylesheet is
UTF-8 since the document is.

Comment 4

[Rainer Bielefeld]

eventually only a problem with reference (I am not shure / too less knowledge)
I belive, with reference "href="/stylesheets/opera_08.css" the browser should
search for a folder //stylesheets/opera_08.css
But why do other browsers accept that reference?

I would like to test that, but I do not have enough time to copy half the server
"opera.com" to my harddisk.

Maybe someone has a better Idea?

The sheet has:

	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; /*HER SÅNN!!*/

The page is UTF-8, the sheet is decoded as UTF-8, the character after the "S" in
"SÅNN" is not valid in UTF-8 and the sheet is dropped. Simply adding

@charset "ISO-8859-1";

To the sheet will fix the "problem".

Over to evangelism because Opera.com might like to fix this, but marking
dependent on a browser bug that may fix it too (not likely to do so any time
soon, though).

Comment 7

[Olivier Cahagne]

Just to confirm it's a charset problem, the following URL on the same site,
using the same stylesheet (opera_08.css) loads fine with build 2002022503 on Win2k:
http://www.opera.com/download/ (because it has an iso-8859-1 charset)

Comment 8

[basic]

has anyone contacted opera about this?

Comment 9

[Rainer Bielefeld]

I think anyone agrees that this is not a real bug, but only an interesting effect.

Therefore status changed to "invalid"

Comment 10

[basic]

this is a valid evangelism bug, maybe someone should file a new bug so that the
reporter no longer get email from the bug?

Comment 11

[Paul McGarry]

A curly one. Per spec what Opera is sending is probably alright. The http spec
states that when a charset is not specified (which it isn't for the css file)
that ISO-8859-1 is the default. However
http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset.html suggests this assumption may
not be a viable one for a browser in the real world. Perhaps Moz needs to be a
bit more intelligent here?

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I have sent them mail, yes.

Comment 14

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Mail from opera.com:

"Opera's webmaster has now removed the troublesome comment from the stylesheet."

Loading the site, it looks fixed to me...

Comment 15

[Rainer Bielefeld]

The fact remains, that mozilla seems to be more sensitive to mistakes in
html-pages using stylesheets: 
- NC4.73 showed the old opera-page withour bigger problems (althoug not
supporting   
  stylesheets)
- mozilla showed the page much less in accordance to "intended view"

I think, that ist not a BUG, but a question of Browser-philosopy
