I need help. This is ridiculous.

I’m using Komodo IDE, version 7.1.2, and Firefox version 15.0.1.

I created an HTML5 file like so:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<head>

<meta charset="utf-8" />

<title>Web Page</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="css/text" href="css/global.css" />

</head>

<body>

<div id="release">Release Date</div>

</body>

</html>

And the global stylesheet contains this and is located in a directory at the same level as the HTML file called css:

#release {
    text-align: center;
    font: small-caps;
    border-top: solid 1px;
    border-bottom: solid 1px;
    border-right: solid 10px;
}

Here is a picture of the directory structure:

I put the same styling into he HTML file and it works, but the styling isn’t working with the external stylesheet. I am not new to website development, so this is particularly puzzling to me.

I tried this same thing on two Windows 7 machines and one Ubuntu 11.10 machine as well, with the same anomaly.

Here is the fiddle working:

What could be causing this?

    In the <link> attribute, the type should be “text/css”, not “css/text”.
