Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Raphael Goubet]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc3)

BuildID:    2002052306

When viewing my personal web page, the styles from the external CSS stylesheet
are not applied. This does not happen with any other browser (including Netscape
6.2), nor with Mozilla when viewing the pages localy. The font should be arial,
and the left column should be displayed in blue background. Links should be
styled, too.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Just load the page.

Actual Results:  Page is not displayed properly.

Expected Results:  See description.

Here is the content of the stylesheet:

body {  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #FFFFFF}
body.home {  background-image: url(penseur.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center; background-attachment: fixed}
a.white {  font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none}
a:hover {text-decoration: underline}
a:active {  color: #CCFFFF}
td.col { font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #9999FF }
td.smallfont {  font-size: smaller}
a.white:visited { color: #CCFFFF }

-> invalid

The server sends the wrong mime-type for the CSS

--06:59:56--  http://www.comu.ucl.ac.be/Doctorants/Goubet/styles.css
           => `styles.css'

text/html is wrong, it should be text/css
Mozilla ignores this Style file if you use a valid Doc Type.

Please send CSS stylesheets as text/css. Since Mozilla does not support
text/html stylesheets, it is ignoring the file in this case.
