I gotta admit that’s a first-timer bug for me. I’ve never seen that…

I have this code :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php echo $lang; ?>" >
<head>
    <title><?php echo PAGE_TITLE; ?></title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" title="General" href="./res/css/general.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" title="Popup" href="./res/css/popup.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" title="test" href="./res/css/test.css" />

</head>
<body>
    Hello !
    ...
    absolutely no problem here !!!
    ...
</body>
<html>

I believe nothing’s wrong with it, only there must be. When I test the page, all the HTML shows up, but without the appropriate style. In fact, only the first stylesheet has any effet on the style.
I tried putting the first file code (working) in one of the other files, and it doesn’t work anymore.

I tried googling, but couldn’t find anything (maybe I didn’t search well too)… I also tried different paths, but it works on the first one, why not the others. I tried renaming the files. I also created the 3rd one especially for that, hoping I just had the name wrong.

It has obsessed me for the last hour… So, I believe I could use some help…

Thanks in advance !
Regards from France 😉

    If you link to an external style sheet and set a title for it, you specify it as a preferred style sheet:

    To make a style sheet preferred, set the rel attribute to “stylesheet” and name the style sheet with the title attribute.

    But only the first preferred style sheet is used:

    If two or more LINK elements specify a preferred style sheet, the first one takes precedence.
