Hi!

We might have an idea, if you were so kind to share your URL. :-D

Hi!

Which kind of webserver are you running?

If I call your CSS URL:

http://www.myspacesnitch.com/News/index ... dipity.css

I get HTTP header that tell me "X-Powered-By: ModLayout", and a "Content-Type: text/html" header. But in fact serendipity should send a "Content-Type: text/css" header. The question is why your webserver might drop this header?

IE disregards the HTTP type header of your page, but firefox properly interprets it as HTML and thus cannot apply a theme to your page.

If you are confused by what I say, you might need to contact your webserver provider to ask him what's going on. :)

Best regards,
Garvin

Dear Aaron,

Thank you for contacting Online Support. It appears there is an issue with how this reacts on Firefox. You'll need to contact Seredipity for this, as this should be working without any issue. We are sorry for any confusion.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Ben P.

Hi Aron!

Try to put a simple "test.php" file in your serendipity directory:

Code: Select all

<?php
header('Content-Type: text/css');
?>
nothing {
}
Then give us the URL to that test.php script, and I will investigate this if it sends proper headers. This will then help us to contact GoDaddy again and how to fix the issue.

Best regards,
Garvin

Hi!

Okay. If you call that URL for yourself, you will see Advertisements inserted on that page.

This is fatal for Serendipity's CSS files! GoDaddy is altering your file output so that it makes CSS invalid. You cannot use Serendipity with that kind of Advertisement insertion.

Best regards,
Garvin

To be more precise, it's fatal to *any* CSS file. FireFox is sensitive to it. IE is not.

Nobody is ever going to see your CSS anyway. Why do they want to insert ads in it? Ask them to stop inserting ads in your text/css files.
