When trying to validate a Gantry Framework site for CSS either 2.1 or 3, I get errors related to content type. I believe this may be due to a problem with RokGZipper. The site is
www.lifechurchstlouis.org
and the CSS3 validator link is
jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?ur...ll&warning=1&lang=en
The errors listed are:
URI : www.lifechurchstlouis.org/components/com...1b66e4dead744074.php
-1 Unknown error org.w3c.www.http.HttpInvalidValueException: Invalid content type.
URI : www.lifechurchstlouis.org/templates/rt_g...80d073cabd486442.php
-1 Unknown error org.w3c.www.http.HttpInvalidValueException: Invalid content type.
URI : www.lifechurchstlouis.org/components/com...0673de868d13a156.php
-1 Unknown error org.w3c.www.http.HttpInvalidValueException: Invalid content type.
Any suggestions? - Dan Walker - Web Designer & Developer @ Top Webs Network

Well, it looks like you've changed some of the head information that is asked to be left in my Joomla.
There could be other items you've changed that are causing this to generate differently.
Please post in the specific forum for the template you are using and we can help you further with this.

No, it's a problem with Gantry/RokGZipper itself. The Gantry Framework website itself (
www.gantry-framework.org/
) gives the same W3 CSS validation errors. See:
jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?ur...ll&warning=1&lang=en
I do believe you're right in that it is some type of header problem, because when you paste the CSS code of the page directly into the validator, it validates for CSS3. - Dan Walker - Web Designer & Developer @ Top Webs Network

OK, I've isolated the problem, which is in the code of RokGZipper version 1.9. The header code is being written incorrectly for utf-8. The proper way is documented here:
www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-css-charset.en.php
On lines number 330 and 342 the header code is incorrect:
Content-Type: text/css; charset=UTF-8
which must be changed to that above. Can a moderator please bring this to the developers attention.header("Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8"); - Dan Walker - Web Designer & Developer @ Top Webs Network
