[Solved] Adding a DOCTYPE killed my PHP Variable CSS

[BrettZ]

I am presently working on a website for which I had declared no DOCTYPE. Of course it was impossible to validate the HTML without a DOCTYPE, so I added one (HTML 4.01 Transitional). The HTML now validates and the CSS validates as CSS2.1. However, before adding the DOCTYPE the site worked across all the browsers I tested (IE8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari) and now it only works for IE. All other browsers completely ignore the CSS.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Here is the original page without a DOCTYPE:
http://whiteweek.net/pages/index2.php

Here is the identical page except for the addition of a DOCTYPE:
http://whiteweek.net/pages/index.php

Thanks

you are calling your stylesheet in as a PHP file – so I am guessing you want to use variables or something in your CSS?

If you have done this you need to make sure you set your headers in your style.css

example:

Code:

If not it wont know what to do with the file.

Rob, you were correct on all accounts. I am using variables inside my CSS and adding the header to the style sheet has corrected all the problems. Thank you, sir, for your help in my hour of confusion.
