.css extension

I recently changed a .css file to .asp to insert some server side code to
write different css elements based upon some data base criteria. IE and
Opera appear to process the .asp file and use the adjusted css. Mozilla and
Firefox ignore it completely and display the pages with no css.

I couldn't find anything stating I couldn't use server side scripting to
write a css file. Is there anything in the spec that prohibits it?

The HTML I'm using is
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css.asp">

The style sheet is probably being sent with an incorrect Content-Type
header. See http://css.nu/faq/ciwas-aFAQ.html#QA05

I expect so. The mozilla Tools > Web Development > Javascript Console
would confirm it.

On the project I'm currently working on, the style sheets are all .asp
files.
We set the content type in the first line of these .asp files with this
code:

<%Response.ContentType="text/css";%>

That seems to work fine with Mozilla.

Haf to remove the semi-colon, but that did the trick. Many thanks!

Only if the IIS ASP server defaults to vbscript,
not necessary [removing the ;] if the default is set to jscript
