Good idea or confusing? What do you think?

Mozilla is broken. Dig out telnet and actually look at the HTTP headers.
You'll see they say "text/css".

I remember trying to serve a .php file in one of my pages with a text/css
header. Every browzer but Mozilla/Firefox had no problem handling it.
This was a year or so ago, so I don't know if it's been fixed.

I do see text/css. What is broken? What is different about your
methods that causes Moz/FF to fail?

But since you know this, and since millions are now using Moz and
Firefox, don't you think it's a good idea to make sure your css works
in these browsers?

The validator says there are errors in your multimedia.css
<http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftobyinkster.co.uk%2F&wa rning=1&profile=css2&usermedium=all>
though it seems to look correct. <?>

Whoohoo. Whilst I was composing the above, you must have fixed
something, or at least in the last couple hours? It seems to work
just now... <scratch head>

Is it a good idea? Isn't a better idea to build a web document to standards and let
the browser builders/users sort themselves out.

Maybee, maybee not. If it is, why don't I get the same error on every
