Server is Win2K3/IIS6.

I have an ASPX page with this in the <head> tag:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<%
Response.Write( "http://" +
Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_NAME"].ToString() +
this.ResolveUrl("~") + "styles/styledefault.aspx"); %>" />



The style.aspx page looks like this:

body
{
    background: #655A46 url('<% Response.Write(
this.ResolveUrl("~") + "media/"); %>bg.gif');
    color: #543;
    font: normal 62.5% "Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;
}

...

The purpose is to have dynamically-changing styles. The page renders
fine with my external and dynamic style sheet in IE7, but in FireFox
the style appears to be ignored. What can I do to make this work?

Thanks.

Howdy,

I reckon it should be:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<%=
ResolveClientUrl("~/styles/styledefault.aspx") %>" />

Hello coconet

I have reproduced the issue with your code. I also tried Milosz's
suggestion, but the problem still exists.

Based on my test, the style sheet works as expected both in Firefox and IE
only when the href attribute of the link tag points to a css file. A
possible reason is that Firefox does not support a server page as a style
sheet. It depends on how Firefox is coded for it. Therefore, my suggestion
is to contact Firefox for further support. (e.g.
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38)

Another workaround is to extract the styles in the apsx file into a
separate css file, and link to the css in your page. Hope it helps.

If you have any other concern or need anything else, please feel free to
let me know.

Happy New Year!

I am facing a similar problem

I am using a asp page to dynamically create a stylesheet

my asp page creates the following css element when i call the asp page my
typing the url in the browser. My asp page works fine............

body {
font-family : Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif, Verdana ;
margin : 0 ;
padding : 0 ;
}
.portal_nav {
margin-right : 30px ;
margin-top : 3px ;
}
#white_bar_1 {
height : 6px ;
width : 985px ;
background-color : #B32B3F ;
}
#white_bar_2 {
height : 8px ;
width : 985px ;
background-color : #B32B3F ;
}

my code goes like this for setting the stylesheet in ASP.NET master page

HtmlLink link1 = new HtmlLink();

if (null != Request.QueryString["CID"])
{
clientId = Request.QueryString["CID"];
Session["CID"] = clientId;
link1.Href = "~/NewClientPortal/stylesheet.asp?CID=" + clientId;
}
else if (Session["CID"] != null)
{
clientId = Session["CID"].ToString();
link1.Href = "~/NewClientPortal/stylesheet.asp?CID=" + clientId;
}
else
{
//Going to default CSS
}
link1.Attributes["text"] = "text/css";
link1.Attributes["rel"] = "stylesheet";
Page.Header.Controls.Add(link1);

my stylesheet setup in web.config is <pages theme=""> </page>

when i see the view source code when the page is rendered i see the <link>
element with the proper url............ but none of the style settings are
set to any of the controls................

Anyone has any idea....why this is happening.............need help badly

Had the same problem - add this to the code behind (before the content) and
it will display OK in firefox

Response.ContentType = ("text/css")
Response.Clear()
Response.BufferOutput = True
