Re: [WSG] Really strange results
the page: http://www.deafvision.net/projects/btw/revised/indexx.html. Can I raise a quick issue -- I noticed when I went to that page and right-clicked on it... a JavaScript alert came up to say that the page was copyright, and, as far as I could tell, stopped me from doing view source via the context menu -- what's the reason for that?

Re: [WSG] Really strange results
John People use that method to try and stop people copying source code. Unfortunately there really is no reliable way of doing so because: 1. the page is usually cached by the browser and you can get the source code from there 2. browsers can be set to disable javascript to get around these kinds of right-click disabling scripts Basically, since HTML is interpreted by user agents (browsers etc) and not compiled, its next to impossible to stop people copying content/code -- Neerav Bhatt http://www.bhatt.id.au Web Development IT consultancy http://www.bhatt.id.au/blog/ - Ramblings Thoughts http://www.bhatt.id.au/photos/ http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/neerav John Horner wrote: the page: http://www.deafvision.net/projects/btw/revised/indexx.html.

[WSG] Really strange results
In some browsers, the test page I have put up renders fine: namely, IE Mac, Safari on Mac, IE6 on PC. However, Firefox, Opera, Mozilla and Netscape don't seem to see the stylesheet. Both HTML and CSS validated fine through the W3C site. I am really having a difficult time understanding why some browsers see the stylesheet, while others don't? The link to the page: http://www.deafvision.net/projects/btw/revised/indexx.html. CSS is at http://www.deafvision.net/projects/btw/revised/css/btwnewx.css. This is the first time I've encountered this situation, so anyone who can point me in the right direction, I would be very much obliged. Thanks.

G'day I am really having a difficult time understanding why some browsers see the stylesheet, while others don't?

Re: [WSG] Really strange results
This is because your webserver is outputting: Content-Type: text/plain and not: Content-Type: text/css For your CSS file. IE doesn't care, but most other stuff does. Nothing wrong with your CSS.

Re: [WSG] Really strange results
The easy answer is that your server is configured incorrectly. Your stylesheet is being served as text/plain, and not text/css thus some browsers are not treating it as a style sheet.. s Leslie Riggs wrote: In some browsers, the test page I have put up renders fine: namely, IE Mac, Safari on Mac, IE6 on PC.

Re: [WSG] Really strange results
Thanks, Michael, Where do I find that information, so I can back up the assertion when I talk with the hosting provider? Thank you!

Re: [WSG] Really strange results
Thanks to all - the hosting provider confirmed that the web server was incorrectly configured; it's an older one. The site will go live on a newer, properly configured server. I can now sleep happythanks again, everyone. Leslie Riggs scott parsons wrote: The easy answer is that your server is configured incorrectly.
