[Debconf-discuss] browser support

2007-02-19 Thread Joerg Jaspert
Hi

thanks to Steve Langasek debugging the browser failures today we now
have the Pentabarf site (penta.debconf.org) working fully with epiphany
and galeon. (And probably others based on same rendering engine, only
tested those).

The fix was to remove all byte order marks[1] from the .css files. Looks
like those browser are unable to understand that, probably due to a bug
in their parser/rendering engine.

FWIW, a peek at the properties on a sample .css file shows that the file's
encoding has been reported as ISO-8859-1.  It's not obvious to me that it's
a bug for a browser in this case to accept an encoding from a Content-Type
header, and subsequently be confused by non-iso8859-1 characters in the
document...
