As you can see the page on http://www.vormingplusantwerpen.be/icms/web/php/index.php?pag_id=160121 has no CSS applied.

I suspect that the reason is that one of the "CSS" files is in fact an HTML 404 page.

This is a regression from Firefox 3.0 which renders the page correctly. (even if it is the site's fault)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2) Gecko/20081201 Firefox/3.1b2

I see the CSS applied on that page, and Live HTTP Headers gave 200 OK for every .css file. Perhaps you could upload a minimal test case with the problem?

Minefield (latest Gecko 1.9.2a1pre build), Shiretoko and Camino (Gecko 1.9.0.6pre, without the word 'Firefox' in the UA string) all fail to use the stylesheet.
It is linked like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/VormingPlusAntwerpen">

Firefox3.0 and Camino with the word 'Firefox' in the UA string, show the site correctly. The stylesheet is linked this way:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/antwerpen-ff.css">

This is clearly a case of bad UA detection. They should look for Gecko, not for 'Firefox'.

This is INVALID, or Tech Evangelism.

You should contact the site and complain about this issue.

Reporter: Can you write a mail to the webmaster of that page and complain about the broken user-agent detection?
