firefox reads same code differently when uploaded to server

[trace]

hi ..i'm new to authoring and am struggling to understand why my
firefox 2.0.0.1[mac] browser reads the code correctly, off my local
files but once those same files are uploaded,and i access it
online, it reverts to the firefox default font settings i.e black
text , default font family and loses the centering etc. ..
safari and explorer read it fine, both from the local files and online
via the server..

address is

hoping someone can help
trace.

If you can learn from hard knocks, you can also learn from soft
touches.

Renaming to versailles.css will *probably* work because your server is
*probably* already configured to serve .css files as text/css. An
alternative method would be for you to configure your server to serve
..rec files as text/css. From the level of your page's coding I
respectfully suggest you go with the rename-to-.css method (unless
you're really keen on Apache configuration). I don't think I've ever
seen a stylesheet which used a different extension anyway.

HTH. Good Luck!
