[Xitami] Safari and DOCTYPE

[Gordon Wong]

I am using Xitami 2.4d10 under Windows 2000 Pro and had been fighting for 
months with how Chrome (only Chrome) completely ignored external css files.

But all was fine after I told Xitami yesterday that .css files were of type 
text/css in defaults.cfg:
[Mime]
      css=text/css

Now it does not matter what <!DOCTYPE> I use:
- HTML 4.01 strict
- HTML 4.01 transitional
- XHTML 1.0 Transitional
- even with a missing <!DOCTYPE> line the external CSS works !


My current working test site setup:

HTML 4.01 strict in pages:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

In the <head> I specified charset:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;CHARSET=iso-8859-1">

In the external CSS the matching charset specification was the first line:
@charset "iso-8859-1";

External stylesheet reference was:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/style.css">

How is your page wacky?  Can you confirm that 2.4d6 understands the new 
lines in defaults.cfg ?

I will send you the link to the working page.
