Hi

In my application css files are in css folder on root directory

in header view
i wrote
<link type=“text/css” rel=“stylesheet” href=”/css/style.css”>

so application runs well and fine in mozilla firefox with all css effects but fails in IE,
means in IE css effects are not shown..

in page source it displays the same as above..

my question is how is it possible that firefox gets css correctly but not IE

the other point..
my image folder and javascript folder are also on root directory
and i have given their path also like this..
and their effects are shown well and fine in IE even..
only problem is CSS…

any help?

I'd guess that for starters you haven't declared a DOCTYPE so IE doesn't know what kind of document it's parsing (Firefox is very forgiving).

Try adding the line like this:

Code:
&lt;link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css" /&gt;

(Note the inline XML-style closing tag).

I think the document is probably being parsed as XHTML.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" 

   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;Welcome to my Web site&lt;/title&gt;

    &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/main.css" /&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

...

Another thing to try, would be clearing Internet Explorer's Temporary Internet Files.

Hi,

Please don't crosspost (http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/105215/)!

I use the site_url() function for my CSS / images / JavaScript. Example:

Code:
&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="&lt;?php echo site_url('/css/global.css'); ?&gt;" /&gt;

It works fine.

I think you can't delete it, just make sure you're in the right forum next time. For the Lounge it says:

Has your CSS problem been solved?

to

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