 * Hi
    My name is Henry. I downloaded WordPress two days a ago. I have been analysing
   the theme-files (templates) because I am planning on writing my own theme. I 
   edited a theme for my site. It looks great and functions well in a regular webpage.
   However, I have written four style sheets, each one of them supporting different
   browsers and their versions. I worked last night on theme for WP, I followed 
   all the steps needed, and deploided to my blog. When I selected the theme that
   I build- all the coding was overrided and even deleteed by the server. All i 
   got to see was plain text in the browser. Could some one give me an idea why 
   this happened?! THX hd

 * _I have written four style sheets, each one of them supporting different browsers
   and their versions_
    There is something wrong with that theme if it needs 4 stylesheets…
 * Do you mean you “uploaded” the theme to your blog? And where did you “select”
   the theme? In the Presentation menu of the admin panel?
 * I’ve never heard anything like you stated: that the theme was overrided and deleted(!)
   by the server.
 * If it was plain text – your theme wasn’t functional.

 * First Thank you for your feedback!
 * I have the many css because I like to support as many browser as possible (ie_v4,
   v5,v6; netscape_v4; and all the new broswers) – so any body with computer and
   a browser no matter the broswer and its version get the same experience.
 * I have validated all css and the xhtml prior to put it all together. So there
   is nothing wrong with that part – However, once uploaded and ready to go. the
   header.php got overrided
    Let me show you what the header.php looks like before
   the problem :
 * <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “[http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt](http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt);
   
   <html xmlns=”[http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221](http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221);
   xml:lang=”es” lang=”es”> <head> <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php
   bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” /> <title><?
   php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php }?
   > <?php wp_title(); ?></title> <meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php
   bloginfo(‘version’); ?>” />
 * <script src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/granzette.js” type=”text/
   javascript”></script>
 * <link href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/granzette_print.css” rel
   =”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”print” />
 * <style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>
    [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)“
   <?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>”; </style>
 * <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS 2.0″ href=”<?php 
   bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” />
    <link rel=”alternate” type=”text/xml” title=”RSS.
   92″ href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss_url’); ?>” /> <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/
   atom+xml” title=”Atom 0.3″ href=”<?php bloginfo(‘atom_url’); ?>” /> <link rel
   =”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />
 * <!–[if IE 5]>
    <link href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/granzette_ie5fixes.
   css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”> <![endif]–> <!–[if IE 6]> <link href=”
   <?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/granzette_ie6fixes.css” rel=”stylesheet”
   type=”text/css”> <![endif]–>
 * <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&format=link’); ?>
 * <?php wp_head(); ?>
    </head> <body> <div id=”masthead”> <h1>[](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-multi-browsers-support/index.htm?output_format=md)“
   ><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> – <?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></h1> </div> <
   div id=”skipnav”>[ [skip to navigation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-multi-browsers-support/?output_format=md#skiptonav)]
   </div>
 * – Now, when I saw the result in the Browser, I went to the Presentation > Theme
   editor, and this is what it shows:
 * <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “[http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt](http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt);
   
   <html xmlns=”[http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”&gt](http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”&gt);
   <head> <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?
   >; charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />
 * ??????
