Mozilla's javascript console show the following warning while IEdoesn't show it?

[nick]

The warning message is:

Warning: The stylesheet http://www.jewelrybyponce.com/popup/popup.css
was loaded as CSS even though its MIME type, "applicatio n/octet-stream",
is not "text/css".

What cause the problem? There is not "applicatio n/octet-stream" in the
html or css code...

Hi Nick,

that is because the web server that served the style sheet file does
not have a mime type "text/css" configured.

Such a configuration would enable the web server to set this mime type
header depending on the file extension of the file.

The MIME type sent by your server to a browser for files ending in .CSS won't
affect your script. However, everyone who visits your Web site will get
warnings in Gecko-based browsers everytime you include a file that ends in
..CSS on a Web page. If you have control over the server, fix it. For example,
to fix it in apache, ensure:

"text/css css"

exists in "mime.types " (should be found in the same directory as httpd.conf).
Of course, you also have to ensure apache is using mod_mime and httpd.conf is
using the right mime.types:

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
# your path will/may vary
TypesConfig /usr/local/etc/apache/mime.types
</IfModule>

Pretty much every reasonable default build of apache should come with this
stuff configured as shown above, unless you somehow managed to build apache
without mod_mime or you moved or edited mime.types.

To add/modify MIME types in IIS 4 and 5, this URL seems to provide the
details:
