Is this a Firefox problem or...?

    I got up this morning and started checking my sites and have discovered that one site is not rendering properly in Firefox, but is just fine in IE. My other sites are doing fine, including the ones that use the same theme as the site in question.

    The site in questions is babycosleepers.net
    It's like the theme layout and graphics are just gone. Yet, other of my sites that use the Flexibility2 theme are just fine.

    Can you give me a clue?

    Thx!

    It's not working in any of the modern browsers, FF, Safari, Chrome or Opera, so make sure some of those stylesheets targeted at IE only aren't leaving the modern browsers out.

    Okay, I'll look into that. Thanks! But do you have any idea why this is not happening on any of my other sites that use Flexibility2? These are all micro sites, and I use the same configuration in all of them. I haven't changed anything at the cosleeper site.

    this is just strange...

    I'll quote from 'developer.mozilla org':

    Problem:
    One of the common reasons for this is an improper configuration of the web server hosting the CSS file. Some Apache and iPlanet web servers are associating files having a .CSS with an incorrect MIME-type such as "text/plain" or "application/x-pointplus".

    Solution:
    If you use Apache, you could also change configuration of the .htaccess file in your root directory (The .htaccess file is a read-only configuration file that handles a few things including MIME types.). Add this line to your .htaccess file:
    AddType text/css .css

    Okay, tried that and unless I placed that bit of coding in the wrong place (I just stuck it in at the end of the file), that wasn't the problem. Or should I have placed it somewhere else?

    And, to reiterate, my other Flex2 sites don't have this problem, but all are hosted on the same server, HostGator.

    Perhaps I should ask Hostgator support for help?

    Have you tried to change the doctype? By the way, to make sure it works, you must validate your design.

    Have a look at the source code, the stylesheet is commented off, and available for IE only.

    Uhm, forgive my ignorance. I know what commenting off is, but this coding for this site and another of my Flex2 sites has this identical code:

    Is that the code you were referring to?

    I'm guessing not, because all my other sites have this same code. So I'm still lost.

    And again, forgive my ignorance, but...huh?


    These are two doctype codes from two different sites. One is working and the other is babycosleepers...

    As you can see, they are identical. What good would changing the cosleepers' doctype do?


    Validate... the HTML? No, I haven;t tried that! I completely forgot! I'll go do that and see what happens. Thanks. Hopefully I'll get some clue there!

    Got it sorted. It was a conflict between ArticleFetch and DoFollow plugins...

    Thanks, guys! I appreciate your help!
