The referenced url (216.254.35.15) (mostly) validates under the W3C XHTML, HTML, and CSS validators. No specified text formatting occurs under Moz 0.9.7, although it works under Mozilla 0.9.6, Netscape 6.2, Mac IE 5.0, Mac IE 5.1, Netscape Communicator 4.78, Windows IE 5.5. I've played around enough with the text of the pages to believe that something is broken with 0.9.7, either in the XHTML area or in the CSS handling. Neither XHTML or CSS is used in a very sophisticated manner in these pages, so whatever it is should be readily apparent. Even pages that validate perfectly will not display correctly under 0.9.7, which always uses the default fonts and ignores the XHTML attribute tags specifying color and font style. The host system is Mac OS 9.1

Resonse from GET /site.css HTTP/1.0 200 OK Server: MACOS_Personal_Websharing Date: Sat, 22 DEC 2001 23:39:47 GMT Last-Modified: Sat, 22 DEC 2001 16:16:00 GMT Content-type: text/plain; charset=X-MAC-ROMAN Content-length: 968 the problem here is mime type "text/plain"; mozilla rejects text/plain style sheets if in strict mode. Reconfigure your (?) server to send "text/css" and it will work (hope so) See bug 46225 .

Thanks, that did the trick. Apparently text/css is not one of the MIME type/ subtypes that Apple includes with their default personal websharing prefs (I know, it's only a toy webserver, but until I get hardware that OS X will run on and can use apache, it's what I have to work with). I shall proceed to nag Apple to fix their product. Interestingly enough, merely adding an entry to map file suffixes of .css to text/css MIME codings was inadequate. I had to replace the final default of * 'TEXT' * text/plain with * 'TEXT' * text/css — I suppose I could has also deleted that entry and see if the .css row then was selected.

we should get apple to fix this :)

Sending to authors because it is similar to authors issues. Confirming.
