Thanks heaps Philippe, that's a very good explanation!  Such a relief - I
was so confused!

That happens more often when one of the required css files is not found.
In your case, you are linking to
'http://skylight.web1.heliocell.com/niftyCorners.css' (from within  
your script[1]),
but that file returns a 404not found.

The IIS 404 file has some css into it, although its content type is  
text/html
Opera and Safari interpret the file nonetheless and apply the  
stylerules in that 404 page to the real html page, hence: red links  
and smaller type on your heading and who knows what more.
Yes it is a bug in those UA. That is what you get when a UA accept  
whatever content-type one throws at it and try to interpret it.
Gecko based browsers simply ignore that missing file completely.

In Firefox with web dev extension, Edit CSS shows niftyCorners.css is  
not found.
The 404 error page that it shows for that stylesheet has a H2 style  
{ font: 8pt/12pt verdana }

[WSG] Odd behaviour in Opera and Safari

[Rachel May]

Hi, I'm really scratching my head over this one and wondering if anyone is
familiar with this problem.

This site
http://skylight.web1.heliocell.com/professionals--community-groups.aspx
(please note still in testing, so e-commerce transactions won't go through,
etc.) is having odd behaviour in Opera and Safari - the page headings are
going small after the page is loading. This is causing the search box to
overlap the navigation (the logo is in an H1 tag).

Also in Opera, the links are going red.

I cannot find what is causing this! Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Rachel
