156313 - udallas.edu - CSS is completely ignored

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Todd Ferguson]

the style sheet (library.css) seems to be completely ignored by mozilla.  i've
validated both the css and the html of the pages calling the style sheet through
w3c, and both have checked out ok.  pages used to render correctly on older
mozilla builds (0.97 and earlier, iirc) but has not rendered correctly since 0.98.
Build ID: 2002070808

When I validated your stylesheet, the W3C's validator threw an error because
your server is not sending it out as 'text/css'.  (ref:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.udallas.edu%2Flibrary%2Flibrary.css&warning=1&profile=css2)
See the DevEdge article at
<http://developer.netscape.com/evangelism/docs/technotes/incorrect-mime-types/>
for more information.  This report should be resolved INVALID.

The Javascript Console (in a current build -- the errors aren't in any releases
yet) shows:

Error: The stylesheet http://www.udallas.edu/library/library.css was not loaded
because its MIME type, "application/x-pointplus", is not "text/css".

->Evang.  (Note that the page triggers standards mode.)

All right, I'll migrate this bug to Evangelism/US Edu, since the reporter is at
a .edu address.  The reporter has been evangelized (comment 1 and comment 2),
and hopefully will report back that it's been fixed so we can close this one out
quickly.
