CSS not loading in Firefox

I have a web page I am testing in both IE and FF. It works perfectly in IE but the style sheets will not load in Firefox.

Has anyone else experienced this type of issue with Firefox ?

Also note that this is only on my dev workstation loading the files locally...

Here is the header section of the html file:

<head>

<link  rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="\\server\USERS$\myID\Projects\Intranet\css\common.css">
<link  rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="\\server\USERS$\myID\Projects\Intranet\css\css.css">

<title>8927.html</title>
</head>

I've had a similar problem with javascript files from time to time. I think firefox is sometimes case sensitive, so make sure the path to your file and its actual name use the same capitalisation.

CSS is handled differently in Firefox than it is in IE.

However, if your css should work fine in any browser, try:

  • Clearing your FF cache
  • Testing in Chrome or Safari

Does your page have any code which checks for browser type that may be stopping the CSS when it detects it is FF?

A wild guess, since I can't replicate your environment: I wonder if Firefox is having problems with either the $ in path or the backslashes. I'd first try replacing backslashes with forward slashes, then I'd try URL-encoding the $ (i.e., replacing it with %24).

ok I fixed it by using the following and it now works in both IE and FF:

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

UNC Paths

If you're linking to a file in a UNC path (e.g., \\servername\share\file.ext), you will need to specify the path thusly:

file://///servername/share/file.ext

Also note that you cannot link to file://///servername to get a listing of shares at that hostname due to a bug.
