XML and CSS (and IE)

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

This is a very strange behaviour I noticed.

It looks like IE 6 handles the CSS differently, depending on the MIME type. I used application/XML first time and text/html the other time.

Has anyone noticed this?

Try:

[url]http://www.siteuri.ro/developer/ghidul-securitatii-php.xml[/url] (application/xml) – Firefox and IE display differently

[url]http://www.siteuri.ro/developer[/url] (text/html) – Firefox and IE display exactly the same

(both files use the same CSS)

@amazing_andr3authorMar 03.2005 — OK I've figured out what's the problem.

It's not a CSS question at all.

IE runs in quirks mode for XML.

Oh almighty Robot why have you cursed us with Bill Gates and his evil monsters???
