So for example if I do this:
code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/res/styles/css.txt"/>


It works in IE, and Opera, and Safari.

But in Firefox and K-Meleon, the stylesheet is entirely ignored. :@


Anyone know how I can get Gecko to fuckoff using it's own arbitrary rules and follow my actual code like all the other engines do?


(Only needs to work on my machine for now - when I go live I'll use path_info to sidestep the issue, but don't want to worry about that yet)

Is there got a good reason to have it as .txt in the first place? I can't imagine there is, so why not rename it to have a .css extension?

What Matt said. It's CSS so surely .css would be the correct way to do things?

It's not going to be .txt, it's going to be .cfm

I was removing all possible external influences other than the extension itself.

The extension is (should be) irrelevant - it's the rel and type attributes of the link tag which matter.

The browser should see "stylesheet" and "text/css" and not bother looking at the filename.

The extension is far from irrelevant. FireFox isn't looking at that it's checking the mime type.

Either change the type associated with .txt on the system if it's local file:// access (Registry on Windows) or send the appropriate HTTP header.

Aha, setting the content-type header to text/css works.

An irritating extra step, but it's working now.

Thanks.

Since we don't do Dragon Points anymore, I'd like to award you 3 PonyPorn Points for that splendid, nay splendid, answer.

That was an excellent example of asking the wrong question. Well done.
