Just a thought:
Are you writing,
@import url('%styles.css%')
or,
@import url('%styles.css%');
???
The semi-colon is absolutely essential.

Subject: [WSG] CSS Disaster
"Dad, I'm not saying I wrecked the CSS.....but I'm gonna need a new stylesheet".
This is how I feel right now. For my new History Website redesign, I worked hard on
creating a valid
XHTML 1.0 Transitional structure consisting of semantic, organized markup. I validated
tha markup
and the CSS (which didn't validate cuz I use -moz-box-sizing). I worked hard, and even
added a
DOM-driven behaviour layer.
Opera 7.23 (IMHO, the best browser ever) renders it beautifully, as I expected. Opera
7.23 rewards
me for my hard work, which is why I love it.
How does IE repay me? By not loading the bloody stylesheet at all (it does load the
external .js
file though). Period. Nein.
At first I though it was this:
@import url('screenstyles.css') screen;
I use single quotes so IE5/Mac won't see the stylesheet. But I switched to double
quotes and still
no luck. Removed the screen; part. Nein. not yet. Removed the conditional comments for
IE in the
head section: no, no, nein.
Almost all of my visitors use IE, and I have less than two weeks to solve the problem.
CSS is an excellent car, but IE is a broken muddy pothole-filled road.
Anyone know any bugs that prevent IE from loading a stylesheet?
