CSS and Netscape 7

Hi,

I'm currently using asp to generate a .css file whose font sizes vary depending on the user's browser (IE or Netscape) and whether they want large or small fonts. Everything is working properly in IE and Netscape 4.7 and 6.2. That is when I select large fonts, larger fonts are used and when I select smaller fonts, smaller fonts are used. However I can't seem to get it to work in Netscape 7.0. I've noticed that while other html elements such as <a> tags have increased their size, text in <p> tags don't. Does anyone know why?

Thanks,
Anna

What do you have in your style sheet? You might need to include <p> tags in your CSS properties... Question

hi,

with more testing i realized that nothing on the stylesheet is being used and not just the <p> tags. I think it is because my stylesheet has a .asp extension. can someone verify whether it is a requirement for NS 7 that stylesheets have a .css extension?

thanks,
anna

btw it's an intranet so i can't give out the link.

Is your ASP script sending a "text/css" content type? If not Netscape will probably have trouble... In PHP this is how it is done:

Code:

<?php header ('Content-type: text/css'); ?>

You'll have to adapt that for ASP.

hi,

do you mean on the .asp file or within the file where i include the path to the .asp file? currently i have the following line in the latter file:

<link href="/stylesheet2.asp" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

thanks,

You're going to have to edit your ASP file to output a "Content-type: text/css" header. However since I'm not familiar with ASP I don't know how you'd do that. Confused

This looks to be the way: http://www.w3schools.com/asp/showasp.asp?filename=demo_contenttype
