Hello again, same problem persisting.
To recap -
The problem:
Here at 100megs (I'm on 100megs8), my stylesheets do not work with Netscape 4.79. On other servers, the same files work just fine.
Examples:
http://www.bedlamhotel.com/styletest.htm (On 100megs8, stylesheet not working)
http://www3.telus.net/test/styletest.htm (On a my isp's webspace, identical stylesheet working ok)
Solutions I've tried:
Check that the css mime type is correctly configured (text/css) here - it is.
Changing the 'href' in the link tag. A link relative to the document ("/stylesheet.css") triggers a Netscape bug where it requests the stylesheet as a separate doc. Relative to site ("stylesheet.css", with no '/') doesn't work here, but works elsewhere. Using an absolute url ("http://www.site.com/stylesheet.css"), doesn't work on either site.
Also tried '@import' in to link the stylesheet, but (as I already knew) Netscape doesn't get that.
Checked out the stylesheet itself on the server, to make sure it was definitely correctly uploaded as ascii text. (It was).
Tested lots of different stylesheets here and on the other server. All work there, none work here (with one exception, see below).
Visited lots of sites where the site is using a stylesheet similar to one that I'm using Netscape. (ie, setting up a postnuke site with one of the default themes, going to another site using the same theme, and downloading the stylesheet to confirm that it's the same as the local one) Again, the problems don' appear when I go to other sites.
Additional weirdnesses:
I did succed in making an extremely simple stylesheet work on the server here, but absolutely any attempt to customize links causes the stylesheet to fail. Again, the stylesheet functioned normally on the other site.
I'm totally lost. The only place I can reproduce the problem is right here. I've also never ever seen this before, and I'm not new to stylesheets.
A couple of you out there have had the same problem, or at least have reproduced it. Has anyone got any ideas about what causes this problem, or how to fix it?
I know NS4 is old and buggy, but I can't afford to design sites for everything but Netscape 4.xx...
Thanks for any help...:(
