I'm currently using the free 10mb web hosting that is available for all iPrimus ADSL2+ Big Kahuna members. I'm a web designer by trade and I just uploaded my website (CSS2) onto the iPrimus server (http://home.iprimus.com.au/) but there seems to be a problem in Mozilla. Internet Explorer 6 & 7 and the new Google Chrome browser seems to be fine but Mozilla is not executing my style sheet.

I was pulling my hair out because I thought it was a problem from my end but I did some more testing by uploading my website to one of my family members ISP's free web hosting (TPG)... and guess what? it all worked fine.

Can someone from iPrimus please check if the settings on the server are activated so my style sheet can get linked to in Mozilla. I hope this make sense.

I tried to call the support line but they had no idea what I was talking about.

Below is the URL if you need to test it.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for putting my site through the CSS validator but they are minor errors which I have fixed. However, the main concern is that why iPrimus is restricting my (or all) style sheets not to work in Mozilla. I’m pretty sure it’s a configuration on the web server.

hmm weird I just tried making a test page and uploading it, style sheets didn't work for me either.

I'll talk to the guys who manage it tomorrow.

If you check your error console you'll see that your stylesheet wasn't loaded because its MIME type is being interpreted as text/plain instead of text/css.
I believe this is a problem with the server settings.

I had the same problem once. Like you, support had no idea what I was talking about, so I gave up. The only solution I could find was to put the css in the head instead of a separate stylesheet.

It would be great if they could change the server setting. :)
