I found a strange thing happening this morning on the relationship between external stylesheets and aspx pages. I am not sure how this thing occured but if I use a link using a slash at the end, no style sheet is apply at all:
Note the slash at the end. Try it to see by yourself !
UPDATE: Well I am not sure this is not a bug from Internet Explorer after all. Don't have a chance to have Firebird install on this machine so if somebody want to try.
I test it with different .Net sites, same effect !
SECOND UPDATE: Yes readers report that this happen too with Firebird.
I would like to see a 404 HTML page not found type of message happening if I use the / at the end. After all it's not the correct URL. So with a 404 error I can redirect to a proper error page, and eventually detect the problem from my stats package. Here no hope because the page load of course screwed by the lack of CSS !
It seems that it's really only with .aspx extension. With .asp and .html or .htm yes I have a 404 error ! Vazz report one .html case where the same problem happen.
So unless somebody has an easy answer, do you think we should escalate this as a bug ?
THIRD UPDATE: OK now it seems that indeed this is more about not loading at all the <head>...</head> section of the page. So the result is that now this stupid thing screw the javascript the images, the stylesheets, but it still display the page !
