[WEB4LIB] Innopac CSS & Mozilla not playing nicely together

[SAMANTHA YEUNG]

Kenneth,

Our library has recently selected Millennium as our new library system.  I am wondering what kind of web skills one would need to effectively manage and maintain the OPAC interface and all the various interfaces.  I have some basic HTML skills. Do I need to learn CSS and Java?  

Thanks in advance,
Samantha

Hi folks,

I just downloaded the latest version of Mozilla (1.1 beta), and find that 
it won't read the stylesheet served by our Innopac ( web catalog from 
Innovative Interfaces). In all other instances, it does seem to be ready 
CSS properly, but not here.

The *front* page of our catalog calls its style sheet from another server:
http://ezra.wittenberg.edu/ 
and it works just fine.

The pseudo-front page (where it goes when you click the "Start Over" button:
http://ezra.wittenberg.edu/search/ 
links to the CSS file on the server itself.

Both pages look the same in IE, NS4 and even NS 6.2, but Mozilla 1.1.b 
won't read the locally stored CSS file.

Any clue why this happens? (Innovative isn't very CSS friendly, so it could 
well be some weird server configuration on their part). Local and remote 
style sheets in other places both seem to work fine in the same version of 
Mozilla.

Could someone look at both pages mentioned about in Mozilla 1.0 (the 
current stable version) to see if it exhibits the same behavior?

Any clues would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken
