Fixed on Mozilla?
It turns out my front page did not work on
Mozilla—the division containing the main text started at
the top of the screen rather than 76px down from the top (as
I has expected, given that its top margin was 76px).
I changed this, but in order to test on Mozilla (which
takes some minutes to start up on my K6/233) I needed to
persuade thttpd to serve
CSS marked as type
text/css
. (This is necessary because the W3C specs
require that web browsers believe what web servers tell them,
and it it says a file is text/plain
it is not a
style sheet.)
In theory I did this months ago
(edit mime_types.txt
, rebuild, reinstall). Testing
this is a pain as well—Mozilla 0.9.7 does not give any
easy way to find the content-type of auxillary files, so you
have to type HTTP requests in to TELNET by hand... In the end
it ocurred to me to run TELNET in an Emacs buffer so at least
the retyping of HEAD /mumble/foo/bar.css HTTP/1.0
could be done almost-automatically... In the end it turns out
that I needed to do make clean
to force a
complete rebuild, otherwise changes to
mime_types.txt
made no difference :-(
