Hi,
Has anyone seen a problem with IE8 not loading a customised local.css file? I'm running Acquia prosper, setup as recommended.
I'm using the malsup jquery to run an image slider in the header and it works just fine, but initially was displaying a flash of all the images as the page loaded. There are well documented fixes for this so I applied them & got a resolution for Firefox, Opera and Chrome. However IE8 refused to play ball, so I eventually checked the styles sheets it was loading (F12) and it turned out my local.css file wasn't one of them. Yet the other browsers load it OK..
If I hack the acquia prosper style css then IE8 behaves correctly, but I'd rather not have to do this of course
Am puzzled and would appreciate any pointers. Thanks

Have you cleared the site(admin/settings/performance) and browser caches?

Yep, I'm doing both of those things and the results were consistent. Also cleared it by by means of the devel module. The only positive change I got in IE8 was when I altered the theme's main style CSS file, which was loading OK. Then it worked like the other browsers.
The IE developer tools are pretty good (accessed via F12, which I only just found out about). They make it simple to check the styles sheets and local.css is definitely missing. When I do the same in the other browsers, local.css is there.
I appreciate there a lots of alternative slide shows that won't have this problem, but I want to use the local css for other changes.

I've had probs on a couple of pages with IE8 (but not Firefox/Safari)- what solved it for me was enabling
Optimize CSS files:
on the admin/settings/performance page.
This aggregates all the css files into one, as IE can only apparently cope with a limited number of them (31?). In my case it was panels adding an extra 4 css files for the pages it was active on.
If you are over 31 you can
If you are over 31 you can use this module http://drupal.org/project/unlimited_css

That's it ! Got a bit overenthusiastic with modules and am loading a few more than 31 sheets.
Many thanks guys.
