How to use .htaccess to parse only .html files as .php?

[Els]

***newbie question***

Hi, I am trying to make my server (Apache) parse .html files
as .php.

I found this line of code:
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
placed it in an .htaccess file and uploaded it to the
directory I wanted it to work.
And it worked; my .html files are all parsed as .php.
But, apparently, so are my images, so they aren't loaded
into the pages. And something else, my css file isn't found
anymore by Netscape and Mozilla, while IE has no problem...
I'm calling my css file with @import url(all.css); in the
<style> block in the head of my .html files.

How do I make the server parse _only_ .html files as .php,
and why don't Mozilla and Netscape find the css file? (They
did before I sent the .htaccess file)

Sincerely,

Either

<Files *.html>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
Or just

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

Is '.html' deliberately missing there?
ForceType application/x-httpd-php .html
I suspect that without, it's forcing _everything_ to be parsed as PHP.

And something else, my css file isn't found
anymore by Netscape and Mozilla, while IE has no problem...

AFAIK, @import() is for IE only.. use HTML:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/foo.css" type="text/css" />
etc etc.
HTH =)

It works, thanks!
Can you recommend me any website where stuff like this is
explained in beginner mode? (just for future reference ;-) )

I used @import, so that all browsers could find the file,
except the older ones, like NN4, who would render it
completely wrong. They don't see @import, so in there, I put
all the CSS for newer browsers. Then, I'll make a <link
rel="stylesheet" href="/css/foo.css" type="text/css" />
which will be found by NN4, but overruled by @import for the
newer browsers. (if I make sure the @import is lower in the
<head> than the <link>..)

Ahh that makes sense, and clarifies my confusion.

I was confusing (myself with) "@import() is for IE only" and "older
browsers < IE4 && NN4 etc".

I knew there was a reason and a difference in the "HTML method" and the
@import() method.. I guess I should type what I mean in future.. and
more regular coffee =)
