| ok so i want to thank you guys for helping me but after calling the my host's
customer support number i'm frustrated.
i asked the guy on the other end if he could update the mime type as the link
you gave me suggested and he was really unhelpful and said that as i am on a
shared server with other customers that he couldn't do anything to the MIME
type or it may affect the other customers and that they may upgrade in the
future but they might not. so i'm stuck with a website that can't be viewed
properly in firefox!!

| I've also been on a live chat support thing, this is what the tech guy said
Alistair Duncan (Easyspace): You are on a shared hosting server we will not
make changes to the shared server for you as it may cause an issue with other
sites hosted on this server. Also the issue is with CSS not the server. If you
create a CSS file that includes the correct info for both IE and firfox then
there is no need to change any MIME types.

Did you point the tech guy to the URL I gave you? As Murray says, you
should change hosts because the guy doesn't know what he's talking
about. Yes, it would affect everyone on the shared server, but in a
positive way. What Easyspace is doing at the moment is displaying
everyone's sites incorrectly (if they use CSS, that is).

If you browse to your .css file:
http://www.past-images.co.uk/pastimages.css
The response headers sent with that file are:
Server: Zeus/4.3
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 15:43:41 GMT
Content-Length: 396
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Type: text/plain
Last-Modified: Mon, 27 Feb 2006 15:56:00 GMT
200 OK
The .css file is being served with a Content-type=text/plain. That's
just wrong. The correct Content-type for a .css file is text/css. I'd
say that, if they cannot correctly configure a server, they are not a
host you want to do business with.

Good luck! For what it's worth, they don't need to upgrade it, they need
to repair it. It's currently broken.

He's an idiot, lacking basic knowledge. The server configuration itself
_is_ already broken, fixing it will not break any other things.
If you as the user have to tell the admin how to properly configure his
machine, there's something wrong ...
