Re: [css-d] FireFox CSS problem...

[Matt Klein]

Thank you all for your time and effort in solving this problem.   The
real problem is that the web server application I was using has no
configuration for MIME types so I couldn't add the text/css MIME type.
In the end,  I moved our website to our ISPs web server and all is well.
 
One less thing I have to maintain.  Woohoo!

I have seen a similar issue where Firefox (or any Mozilla browser) won't
recognize a CSS file if it is served with the wrong MIME Type.

So first check that your server is serving .css files with the proper
MIME Type. 

(seems unlikely, but I've come across servers that are configured
improperly for something this basic)

Hi all -

I have a web site that I just finished developing. During development, I
had the website in a folder on my local computer with a sub-folder(css)
for storing CSS files.

I tested the site using both IE and FireFox and it displayed perfectly 
in both.

My problem is that once I move it to my web server, IE still displays it
just fine, but FireFox acts as though the CSS files don't exist. The
content appears, but with the CSS files being applied. 

I even changed my references to the CSS files to be explicit paths
instead of relative paths. Still IE is fine and FireFox doesn't seem to
find the CSS files.

I'm a little confused since it all worked fine when the site was on my 
local computer.Here's the link to the site www.sbcne.com/new


Any ideas?

Hi Ingo -

Can you tell me how you were able to determine the MIME type was
incorrect?

The server is misconfigured: The actual MIME type of the css file, 
application/octet-stream, is not text/css, as it should.
