I have the following snippets placed correctly on a page:
----my comments----
==============
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
----at the very top of the page----
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
----inside the HEAD tags----
<TH COLSPAN="2" ALIGN="left" class="general">The contents of your shopping cart
is listed below.</TH>
----inside a working table----
==============
The CSS styles do not get applied to the page UNLESS I remove the DOCTYPE line.
As soon as I remove the DOCTYPE line from the page the style sheets start working.
Two identical pages except that one has a DOCTYPE and the other does not.

The stylesheet in question is being served as "text/html", and we don't
understand the "text/html" stylesheet language. (Newer builds would have a
warning on the error console about this.) You should make the server serve the
stylesheet as text/css.
