Mozilla displays HMTL code instead of page

[bviviyal]

Friend has mozilla for linux, I run an Apache 2.x web server. His home page will not render in linux + mozilla, but renders just fine on my windows + IE6.

he's using CSS & Javascript if that helps

Welcome to the forums bviviyal!

It sounds like a MIME type problem - if your friend can look at the site in Firefox, right-click and go to "View Page Info" there is an entry "Type". It should read

text/html

- however it might say

text/plain

. If so, it is either a server issue which will need to be corrected by the server admin, or if you have a dynamically-driven site, you should set the MIME type as an HTTP header within the application.

IE is more forgiving of such errors than Firefox, but it is important to fix this issue.
