Liferay First Time Login Portlet CSS Issue

Question

I added a First Time Login portlet to Liferay. Then I added some CSS and jQuery code. It works very well on all the browsers but IE. The problem I'm having with IE is that it won't load the CSS and jQuery files. Basically what I mean is that when I run the portlet on IE there's no CSS style and interaction from jQuery. Again it works fine on all other browsers.

I'm testing on IE8. It only shows up in plain html format. No CSS style effects it. Unless I embed the css code in each html elements. THen it works fine. But i don't want to combine jsp and css files together.

Answer 1

I have used this trick to "fix" css/js loading errors before that were unexplained on IE (other browsers too for that matter).

http://localhost:8080/?strip=0&js_fast_load=0

Substituting your host, port and portal context url of course.
