Possible bug in MS IE for the Mac, seems to apply to many versions but I
only just got around to discovering what may have going on. As it
hasn't been fixed in so long I wonder if the programmers are aware:
I'm getting many server log entries such as:
... GET /books/'../default.css' HTTP/1.0" 404 ... "Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 4.01; AOL 5.0; Mac_PPC)"
A pair of single quotes has been added to the URL so that instead of
looking for "/default.css" the browser is requesting
"/books/'../default.css'".
This seems to be the results of incorrect parsing of CSS the @import
directive, which in this case was:
@import url('../default.css');
Other browsers don't have the same problem, but feel free to point out
if I've made a mistake in the syntax. The solution is of course for me
to remove the quote marks, I think.
regards
