    CSS file size limit?

    Yesterday my site unexpectedly stopped loading. I tracked it down to
    the CSS file for the site. When I commented it out, the site was okay.
    When I put it back in, it was not. I tried connecting to the server
    via Dreamweaver and it could not dowload the file. Very bizarre,
    however I noticed that it was getting to 14.6K / 15.2K before pausing.
    So I went in via the command line and deleted from the end of the file
    until it was smaller than 14.6K. The site now works like a charm,
    minus my missing style elements.

    Next I tried creating a second style sheet (styles2.css), appending
    the ~50 lines I had deleted, and linking to it. Again, the site
    stopped responding. I started cutting out style elements and once I
    got beneath a certain threshold, the site would start loading. It
    didn't matter which elements I cut, just as long as I didn't have too
    many.

    Any insight into what is going on here? Is there some kind of size
    limit of CSS files?
    Thank you,
    Kevin

      Who knows? Probably not in a PHP newsgroup.

      You might try asking an an appropriate newsgroup such as alt.html.css or
      alt.html.

          Great idea Jerry. I'm not sure what I was thinking posting here.
          Thanks.

              FWIW, I had posted similar issue about 2 years back and later I
              found there is an issue with Apache on Windows. Couldn't give you any
              links; but I'm sure there was some issue in Apache on Windows; it was
              even mentioned in FAQ or readme, IIRC
