The page is in UTF-8 and the .css file was also encoded in UTF-8 but IE7 simply refused to render the page using the CSS rules.

I have no idea  what the problem is but if you are having similar issues try putting @charset “UTF-8″; at the top of your external stylesheet – it worked for me.

Does anyone know what the underlying issue is?
