Ouch

Via diveintomark: Yet someone else gets bit (and ultimately finds a solution) by the Mozilla and CSS file type nit. This is what you get for not doing Google searches. LOL.

I did do a Google search, but I didn't have the problem with Mozilla if I set the DOCTYPE declaration on the page to 4.01 Transitional, so that's the direction I was searching, not on general Mozilla, Movable Type, and CSS problems.

I even did a search for "MovableType mozilla css" (without the quotation marks). Had I put a space between Movable and Type, I would have seen the answer on the second hit. With this query, I didn't get any answers, so I didn't pursue it too far.

I had been living with my DOCTYPE set to HTML 4.01 Transitional and the stylesheet loaded perfectly in Mozilla. It was only with the change to the DOCTYPE declaration to XHTML that it wanted its CSS served as text/css rather than text/plain.

Yeah, I know. This one was a bitch. I flailed around on the exact same kind of stuff you did. I finally only tracked it down by doing a search for all the terms on Google and finally found something in a Usenet message, as I recall. A lot of people I know got bit by this one. I was more amused that yet another person had been driven nuts by it, not so much that you went about solving it in the wrong way. Sorry if it came out like that.
