Apache Tomcat and CSS

Hi everybody!

This might not have to do with Wicket directly but I experience some
very strange behavior with wicket pages on tomcat.
I do have a login page with a centered div container and two input
fields for username and password. If I deploy my application on my local
machine (win xp) into my tomcat everything look really nice on both
firefox and ie8. BUT if I deploy the same .war archive into a linux
server's tomcat my centered div is moved to the left of my browser
window and my style definitions are somewhat messed up. This only
aspects IE8, firefox displays everything very well. My third test
machine (win server 2008) does everything well too (ff & ie8) so I guess
it has something to do with tomcat running under linux. If I look at the
page's sourcecode its exactly the same on all three environments.
What makes me think that wicket has something to do with that is the
fact that a plain html file does render correctly on all systems and all
browsers.

I validated my code using w3c's validator and it's says everything is
fine except for the wicket:id tags which seems to be normal. Encoding is
set to utf-8 so this shouldn't be a problem and doctype definitions are
well too. This is a really strange problem which I can't seem to solve.
Does anybody ever experienced somthing similar? Maybe any of you
Wicket-Guru's ? :-)

Any help is really apreciated!

Thanks in advance
Oliver

My guess is capitalization... (windows is case insensitive, and linux isn't)

Capitalization is the difference between "helping your uncle Jack off
a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"

Note: check your CSS filenames and the links to those.

Thanks for your quick reply!

I finally found out that IE's quicksmode was responsible for that
strange behavior.

For those who don't know as I did.

IE switches into quicksmode if a strict doctype definition is preceded
by an xml prolog which results in a non-standard css layout.
Further information can be found at wikipedia or quicksmode.org

Regards
Oliver

To prevent IE from doing so you can add <meta
http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"/> into your html's head.
