    I am having some CSS problems with this website:

    http://www.davidosmond.com/

    the CSS is displaying correctly in IE but nothing is displaying correctly in firefox, such as background colors, formatting, and text attributes. I have gone through my CSS file and can't seem to find any errors. I frequently use firefox for testing and it was previously displaying correctly. I am sure that I have overlooked something simple.

    I would appreciate any help.

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks markupdude. I removed the html tag but it still is not displaying correctly. Any other ideas?

    Wow still not fixed. Then i am a bit clueless from the browser rendered code, its something that keeps standards based browsers not accepting the css file.

    If you can trust me enough i would like to see the actual code files to check what goes there before browser renders them [you might not have to pay me though as its obviously something very small we are missing here & naturally triggers my curiosity to solve] . Add me to gtalk : markupdude

    Your stylesheet is served with the wrong response headers.

    Code (markup):
    The red text should be "text/css".

    Also, Firefox is seeing the file as do.asc. Be sure you're saving it as plain text and not as a script.

    cheers,

    Wow, look at the big blank page of nothing - Oh, I see, flashtard site. Here's a tip, if you are going to bloat the page out to some 2 megabytes with flash, include fallbacks for those of us who basically want to tell you where to shove it in that department.

    Now for the broken record - with 67 validation errors you do not have HTML, you have gibberish, as gary pointed out you have issues with your server sending the wrong mime-type - AND the wrong encoding since the server is sending UTF-8 while your META says ISO-8859-1...

    and it's a train wreck of how not to build a website. Again, flash with no fallbacks, flash larger than lowest common denominator resolution, Image maps, images for text with no fallbacks, nonsensical heading orders, redundant classes, presentational classnames....

    I really pity the people who end up with rubbish like this for their sites. My advice, chuck it and start over with clean minimalist semantic MODERN markup and take a giant **** axe to the flash bullshit.
