I have a web app which runs on JSF 2.0 + Richfaces 3.3.3. Looks great on all browsers except IE9.
In IE9 without compatibility mode (With, no problem) it looks something like this (ignore blacked out text):
Notice how all the components are framed and CSS is ignored (Not seen?)
The JSP looks like this (Only relevant stuff):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/pageStyle.css" type="text/css" >
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
The css is located at C:apacheomcatwebappsMyWebAppcsspageStyle.css
Anyone got any idea? Thanks!
UPDATE
Did some research with 'developer tools' by capturing packets with the network tab.
The css file is sent with Type=text/html instead of text/css. I guess that's the problem according to this question.
But I still don't know why this happens. As you can see, the file type is clearly marked as type="text/css in the <link> tag.
Another interesting observation - examining the same object in Chrome Developer Tools, the content-type is text/css so maybe its a IE9 bug. I'm confused...
