Content Type for .css files
(Subject originated as 'Stylesheet not working in Mozilla' in netscape.public.mozilla.style) Mozilla has started checking the Content Type of stylesheets, and won't recognise the file if it has the wrong Content Type. Two Content Types appear to be listed for .css files: [application/x-pontplus] and [text/css] Some web host servers, including mine, are using the first type - so Mozilla no longer uses my stylesheets. When I contacted my ISP (Netscape Online, UK), to suggest they might be sending the wrong Content Type, I received the following responses: 1. Unfortunately, as defined in our Member Agreement, we do not provide assistance in web design, beyond the area which you will find our own Help Page... 2. Unfortunately your queries bare no relevance to Netscape Online, so we are unable to provide support. Please refer to Netscape themselves at www.netscape.com or the help area at:- http://help.netscape.com/ You may also wish to feed back your comments using the following link http://help.netscape.com/feedback.html.; These are the people who actually produce the Netscape Communicator / Mozilla software and will be able to assist you further. 3. Unfortunately we cannot help you further with this matter. Whether or not our Netscape Online hosting servers are using 'application/x-pointplus' or not, they will be configured to support the browsers used by the majority of users. (careful JTK - I've heard of people literally dying from laughing too much :-) Short of changing my ISP, any suggestions? -- Regards, Val Sharp - Edinburgh
