in thread Style Sheet Doesn't Display Styles

Thanks Joost,

If this is indeed the case, how would I check it (not familiar with this... this is the first time I've tried to use style sheets in my perl scripts) and how would I correct it?

    If you have firefox with the livehttpheaders extension you can see the headers of all requests.

    you can also use the lwp-request command that comes with LWP. For example: 

    lwp-request -m HEAD http://localhost/

    The important part in this case is the Content-Type header. For a stylesheet it should say Content-Type: text/css optionally followed by a semi-colon and charset value - and a lwp-request <url> should give you the content of the stylesheet.

    You could also try to see if making a plain HTML page containing the output of your script gives the same problem. Trying different browsers can also be enlightening.
