Hi all.

I'm currently working on some project I thought of, it involves lots of Javascript and of course CSS, but I've encountered a very strange problem.

I wanted to get my work XHTML 1.0 valid and so I added the usual stuff.
It all got validated (Link) but it got all screwed up (Link).

Now here's how it should be (Link) and the validation of that page (Link).

The only thing different between those two pages is the missing of a doctype in the second, correct page.

Regards,
Insensus

You are using the wrong file extension for css. Rename style.php to style.css. The webserver is seeing .php as php files.

That's exactly what it should do.
My style.php contains some PHP code to read the styles from config files.
The problems isn't in extensions or something, I'm sure of that.

Well I took the css code and named it style.css and it worked. So maybe it's in your php code and how the browser see's it because of the DOCTYPE.

I've changed it now too.
Still nothing.

I already expected it wouldn't make any difference because I put the style and script in separate files only, because it was screwing up when using doctype.

On the validated page, this is what comes up as styles.css

Quote:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>404 Not Found</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Not Found</H1>
The requested URL /ded/style.css was not found on this server.<P>
<P>Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

</BODY></HTML>

Clearly, the proper CSS file is NOT coming in, so I'd have to say it's a problem with your scripting.

Oh oops.
I forgot to change it back. :$

Will do.
