LESS beginner.
Wrote a test html below
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="404.less">
<script src="http://lesscss.googlecode.com/files/less-1.3.0.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>test</body>
But got a warning in Chrome
Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/x-c++: "http://lesscss.googlecode.com/files/less-1.3.0.min.js".
Why?
You probably want your link tag to say:
<link rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css" href="404.less">
That said, if this is being served from a webserver it could be that that's detecting the mime type wrong from the file extension. If it's an apache server though, there's an easy fix. Add this to/create a .htaccess file in your webroot, containing the line:
AddType text/css less
I had a similar issue with twitter follow-me buttons when I was reviewing local html files in chrome. To fix this I just fired up web matrix 2.0 and pointed at my folder. Hope this helps.
