Can someone look at the following page and tell me what I did wrong with
the style sheet linkage, or perhaps the document type declaration? I
had this working properly off of one server, but now that it's on the
new server it seems that IE6 is not pulling the style sheet, whereas
all other browsers I tested this in are showing everything properly: http://tinyurl.com/ecfpq
I know it must be something basic I'm missing... Thanks in advance for
any help!

In the stylesheet http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_...ss/default.css
there is many things wrong.
1- it starts with illegal code such as
default.cssO7ï¿ ½>�`w��c mBIN
2- html {margin: 0; padding: 0;}
html by definition has no margin and no padding in all browsers
3- * html .staticContent {width: 764px; w\idth: 762px;}
using/relying on css hacks is not recommendable and is already no longer
working for most parts in MSIE 7 beta 2
Last year, on october 12th 2005, Microsoft asked web authors to stop
doing that.
Call to action: The demise of CSS hacks and broken pages
Call to action: Please check your pages http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/10/12/480242.aspx
4-
body {
display:block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #fff;
font: 70% verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height: 200%;
text-align:left;
}
You need to understand what are default css property values of elements
so that you don't over-code, over-define and over-declare unneedlessly.
Here, display:block and text-align:left are useless, unneeded.
font: 70% is awfully small value for body; I would never recommend
smaller than 100% for body.
5-
many things are weird or definitely not recommendable. E.g.
h1 span {
position: absolute;
left:-2000px;
}
Another example: text-indent: -3000px;
Another example: frequent declarations of line-height. I'd stay away
from that kind of css declaration for many reasons I won't explain. For
sure, line-height should be used sparingly and only when necessary.
Generally speaking, your stylesheet over-codes, over-declares,
over-defines. The more complex a stylesheet is, the more nightmare it is
to make it work as intended in all modern browsers.
6- Your stylesheet was not edited in text plain either; that's why you
have illegal characters at the beginning and at the end of the file.
That's probably what triggered you to seek help in this newsgroup. Edit
your stylesheet with a plain text editor.
7- Don't use XHTML 1.0 transitional: use HTML 4.01 strict instead. Using
a transitional DTD to build new documents is nonsense. Using a strict
DTD, you can ensure a clear separation between structure and styling.
or perhaps the document type declaration? I had this working properly off of one server, but now that it's on the new server it seems that IE6 is not pulling the style sheet, whereas all other browsers I tested this in are showing everything properly:
Your stylesheet is corrupted by non-ascii characters. Use a plain text
editor to edit your stylesheet.

We have a web application that incorporates a style sheet, in our local
environment (our desktops) the styles are applied correctly. We think.
However when we deploy the application to a server, any server, the styles
are not applied correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone. I’d like to know how to handle multiple style sheets. I have css tabs that have a style sheet and then I also have a separate style sheet for the content that goes inside the tab.
The problem I am running into is that the tab style sheet uses attributes in the html and body and so does the content style sheet. Each one is specific to its content. The tab style sheet seems to take precedence over the content style sheet because...

I guess I should tell you what the problem is.
