When we look at it, the validator says the HTML and CSS are flawless, but the CSS is not applied to the page!

The same page without a doctype does apply the CSS.

What's wrong?

Your server is sending your stylesheet as type text/plain. Mozilla will accept that when it is in quirks mode, but when it is in standards mode it will (correctly) only accept stylesheets that are sent as type text/css. If you control the server, you can set this yourself. Otherwise, you will need to explain the problem to the system administrator of the server you are using, and ask them to configure the server to send the correct MIME type when serving .css files.

Unrelated to you problem, please do not cross-post to multiple lists. List administrators lose sleep when they see cross-posts. If you really need to post to more than one list, send a completely separate message to each.

Thanks,
