In my environment the baseref is
 
    mike.work.net
 
request.stylesroot is
 
    styles   
 
the url I use is http://mike.work.net
 
and the version of Netscrape is 4.73...the lowest common denominator I have to develop for (fighting tooth and nail by the way).  I hard coded the directory and this strange behavior has stopped.  I like to hedge my bets, but you are usually more right than you are wrong so I gambled...and as usual you were correct.  It seems that Netscape does not like the paths like that.  Of course, the site still does not work...but it looks like those will be yet more issues on my plate to deal with.

Okay,
 
So you're using SES?
  • What's the value of #request.basehref# and of #request.stylesroot#?
  • And what's the URL of this page?
  • What version of Netscape?
 
I think I have heard of an old bug in Netscape that ignore BASE HREF for Javascript and CSS files, or something like that.  If that's the case, then you might have to workaround by actually CFINCLUDE-ing the stylesheet.  Works fine, but you lose tha advantage that cacheing the stylesheet would give.
 
Whatcha reckon?

Well...that's the rub...there is no generated output I can view.  Netscape just spins its wheels.  Figuring that since nothing has been output, it could very well be what's happening in the <head> tag of my main layout file.   Hope this leads you to the right conclusion...I don't have much hair left.

Hi Mike,
 
Can we see the HTML source of the page that changes to http://www.styles.com/main.css ?  I have a sneaking suspicion...

I have been dreading asking this question because it sounds so ridiculous.
For some reason, when I go to a site on our work development box..call it
mike.work.net, in Netscape ONLY (IE is just perfectly happy), the url
changes to www.styles.com/main.css.

Besides being totally bizarre, styles is a sub-directory that contains
main.css.
