    Wicked Firefox CSS problem

    Hello friends,

    I have a very interesting problem with my css files and firefox -
    I guess !

    Listen:

    I have set up my new website www.tagdance.de
    For testing purpose I have mirrored this site under
    www.suedafrika-kapstadt.com, where it looks lovely with all browsers.
    When finished I took the whole site and uploaded it to www.tagdance.de.

    Its ok with IE and Opera. But with firefox - no css !
    The page is blank - just plain text - no formats !
    BUT: I have an extension for firefox (cssedit). When I switch on the
    extension-view to display the css-code - ups - there you go - the page
    is reloaded with the correct formats and all is fine!
    When I turn the css editor in firefox off - my design dies again.

    Im not shure weather this is a css, firefox or server-problem, as I
    have other sites with css on this machine and they work well.

    I could bet no one knows an answer !

    PS: It works when I load this css file from a different location.
    Strange - isn't it ?

    Thanks for any ideas.

      I've recently seen that on a site - forgot which one though. Only
      happened with the background though, not the rest of the CSS.

      What happens if you take the <!-- and --> comment indicators out from
      the style block?

          Javascript console:

          Error: The stylesheet http://www.tagdance.de/tagdance.css was not
          loaded because its MIME type, "text/xml", is not "text/css".

              Yes.
              Solution - have your hosting provider serve css files correctly - this
              needs you to convince them that they're wrong ...
              Workaround (failing the above) downgrade your doctype to make firefox
              more forgiving (quirks mode), or find a better host.

                  YES YES YES Boys ! Thanx a lot. The mime-thing was the deal !
                  The hint with the crappy host was fine (the host is me - its my server
                  - so it was easy convincing him)
                  Its one of my first machines running win2000 and oreilly website.
                  Changed it into text/css and now its working.
                  Thank god I dont have to install a browser-switch and redesign 1200
                  pages for firefox ;-)

                  Thank you all - Mark

                      Hi Els,

                      thank you for your comments and suggestions. I have tried it out. Also
                      with no brackets - no go.
                      It was the server-side mime-type thing.

                      But thank you very much.

                      PS: yes we've met. It was in a newsgroup about css - wasn't it ?

                      ;-)

                      Thank you again Mark

                          eh.. that would be /this/ newsgroup then <g>

                          Certainly wasn't as "tagdance" then? Quite difficult to recognize
                          people on a text based medium if they change their handle :-)

                              I am having the same problem. Does Firefox have a different syntax for loading stylesheet files than IE???

                              here's the code I use in the <head> section:

                              asdfsfsfsd

                              This works fine in IE -- has for years! I am just learning about Firefox that it is becoming a very popular browser. I was told that my website won't work with it. I tried myself and everyone is right! It doesn't work. In fact, none of the stylesheets are loading.

                              Here's the URL: (non-framed:) http://www.kofcri.org/testMenus.asp
                              Framed: http://www.kofcri.org

                              here's how I load the stylesheets:

                              <LINK REL ="StyleSheet " HREF="StyleShee ts\filename.css " TYPE="text/css" media="all">

                              I have even tried the style of loading utilizing @import

                              I have also tried the / character instead of the \ character in the HREF portion.

                              Thanks,
                              Paul
