why in netscape and firefox?

Check your link. I get a 404 error for that document.

hmmm....works for me...thats odd? any one else get a 404?

 

Yes It's a broken link...

 

what browser you guys using? because i just tested it in netscape and i get a 404 but others it loads....?

 

What's popping up is a .tpl file not an html or php file. Change the file extension.

 

damn, your right! how did i not see that.....thanks samowen!!

 

FYI: The applicable standard for http/1.1 is found in "Request for Comments: 2616".

Which quite clearly states,

emphasis added.

The .tpl extension would normally cause the web server to use the common default MIME type text/plain, which yours surely does.

Note the Content-Type: text/plain response header.

Your problem lay hidden when using IE as your test bed, a notably Bad Idea. IE quite wrongly ignores the response header. If the document looks like html, which yours does, it will treat it as text/html despite the rules.

Just one more reason to use a good browser as your test bed. IE is not a good browser.
