UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications CSS Styles and Themes Stylesheet only working on IE, not Netscape

Hi,

(If this is the incorrect forum for this, I apologize)

We have just upgraded to UBBT 6.1.1. and it's running great, with one problem.

Our stylesheet works fine when using IE, but does not get loaded when using Netscape / Mozilla. To make things even stranger, if I download an HTML file to my machine as well as the stylesheet and then watch it, the stylesheet *does* load.

I'm confused....

Sanuk!

PS The board in question is http://board2.nanaplaza.com

I helped someone at Infopop community with this exact problem....

Their stylesheet had things like:

color:ff00ff ;


and I changed to:

color: #ff00ff;


(Added the # sign and removed the space before the ; and it worked fine)

You might check that. Netscape seems particularly fussy.

yes, you can always check your css for errors here:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

warnings aren't that big of a deal, but clearing the errors up will make your site look as well as possible in as many browsers as possible

Hi,

Went through the stylesheet, but there did not seem to be a problem (tried downloading the validator, but didn't have a clue as to what file to get, the site is very confusing).

I doubt it is the stylesheet itself though, since I get the same problem when using one of the default stylesheets.

Sanuk!

you can check it by URL:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-uri.html

Hi,

Yep, was just able to check and I got no errors. Only a bunch of warnings about have the same colors or no background-color.

The css seemed to be valid.

Sanuk!

What version of Netscape?

If I'm correct...older versions of netscape are not compatible with the stylesheets.

The problem I helped with was a bit different. The infopop and other "out of the box" stylesheets worked fine..... the user's custom stylesheet caused trouble.

Do you have a link.....? I could take a look in the latest Netscape and tell you if I see a stylesheet.

Hi,

Don't know which version of Netscape, but Mozilla 1.1 does not display any stylesheet either.

The board is here: http://board2.nanaplaza.com

The stylesheet in question is: http://board2.nanaplaza.com/stylesheets_ubb61.css

Sanuk!

Displays fine in Netscape 6 for Mac OS X

I'm not familiar with what versions of Mozila supported the CSS.... but you might as what version they are using. If it's old (4 ish) it's probably not supported.

Hi,

I doubt it is the browser though, since this site displays fine when using Mozilla.

I do recall having a similar incident a few months ago when I installed Netscape. As soon as I did this Mozilla would no longer display stylesheets. A few days later things were fine again, without me changing anything (at least as far as I remember).

As I said, confusing

Sanuk!

Sounds like some file mapping problems with your browsers or something... I haven't had it with mozilla/NS/IE/opera on the same win2k computer here tho.

I could not get your css to work on mozilla 1.0.1, while it works with my site's css on the same browser.

Also, your css does not start with <style> and end with </style> tags.

Hi,

"I could not get your css to work on mozilla 1.0.1, while it works with my site's css on the same browser."
Yeah, I have no problem with this one either. Yet when I download and install it on my board, it does not display.

"Also, your css does not start with <style> and end with </style> tags."
Tried this, no difference.

I am beginning to think this may have something to do with the fact that we moved servers (and names from board. to board2. )

Sanuk!

I would check all your paths and URLs very carefully. Maybe something is incorrect from the "move".

You *might* be running into a NS/Mozilla bug:

http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.2a/#devel

Make sure you are calling your css files with the proper mime-type

Hi,

Checked the URLs, but didn't see anything out of the ordinairy.

Just asked my partner to check on the Mime-types.
Hopefully that will solve it.

Sanuk!

PS Really appreciate the help!

Hi,

The MIME type has been added to the server, but unfortunately no change

Maybe I'll try re-installing Mozilla.

Sanuk!

Hi,

Figured I owe you guys an update.

A few weeks ago the stylesheet all of a sudden started working, first only at work, then a few days later at home as well.

I suspect that it was somehow cached somewhere, but still do not know 100% what caused this.

Sanuk!

That's good news.

Hope it doesn't revert.

Greetings,

I have the same problem you were having with Netscape 7. I put in a support ticket to infopop
They said that they have not yet worked on threads with Netscape 7 and to "use Netscape 6" for now.

It does seem clear that many of us have had / or in some cases like min..still have this problem.

Which means users with Netscape 7 at various sites have it (I have confirmed this with my members)

I do hope they are making this a priority. Netscape 7 is really cool and lots of people using it.

Anyone know the situation?

Welcome

That sounds a bit odd

What exactly is the problem and do you have a link to the stylesheet/forum you are having a problem with? I'll look at it.

Greetings..yeah

Its here...and all the stylesheets have the same problem.

I get the same warnings when I check them at that css checker as the other poster mentioned abive

Thanks
Renee

Greetings!

Have you had a chance to take a look Allen?

Thankx
Renee

I've looked but do not understand why it isn't loading. I may have an answer in a couple days, but don't know yet.

Thankx!

It does seem odd that support sort of shirked this off....
They are usually so good, persistent and prompt....

Does make me think something is up

I'll take a look also as soon as NS is done downloading and I can install it.

I'm banging my head against the monitor... I can't see why it's not loading. Do all style sheets not load in NS?

Well.. it may be a problem with the doctype tag..

If you remove this line:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">


from your templates/default/ubbt_header.tmpl file then your stylesheets will display in Netscape. I'll kick this around some more when I get a chance. Not sure why your site doesn't work with the doctype yet others do...

[:"purple"] You are MY HERO [/]


WHOOOA!!!!!!

We should post this on the threads regular site so anyone else havingthis will know


WHOAAA! Yeah!

Best
Renee

Your welcome

I am begining to wonder if the newer Mozilla/Netscape browsers wont import the style sheet when the xhtml transitional doctype is set on a page that is not actually xhtml compliant?

I'm going to test this idea once and will let you know what happens.

Nope, even with the doctype in place on a page that isn't compliant it still displayed for me in NS/Moz... toooooo strange.

Hmmmm.

Maybe this was a server level issue...although I cost like so many at cihost.
