Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 312179

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.5 (like Gecko)

www.freepascal.org is a multi-lingual website with content negotiation. Recently a Chinese translation was added, which doesn't render with style sheets in Firefox:

http://www.freepascal.org/fpc.html.zh-CN

All other language versions of the pages, for example the English ones render okay, i.e.:

http://www.freepascal.org/fpc.html.en

There is no difference in html between the languages, just the language and encoding differs. Konqueror, Opera and IE render the Chinese page correctly.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Browse to the page.
Actual Results:  
The page renders, with Chinese characters, but the style sheet is ignored.

For some readon the stylesheet is throwing the following errors, but line 1 is a comment so I'm not sure what's happening:

Warning: Unexpected end of file while searching for ',' or '{'.  Ruleset ignored due to bad selector.

Ah, see bug 312179 comment 4.

Comment 3

[Daniël Mantione]

Reopened because:
* My comment about HTTP ISO-8859-1 default in bug 312179.
* The document contains a BOM, which according to the CSS 2.1 spec should have a higher priority than the encoding of the referring document.

For practical purposes it is desirable to simply add the encoding to the page, which I will do shortly, however, this will mean the URL posted will no longer be useable for testing purposes.

Your html page is sent with a charset, a UTF-16 charset (note the html spec about priorities of specified encodings). Thus the css encoding defaults to that. The css file does not contain a BOM so there is no extra information there to follow.
