IE Mac loading forever with external css

[lijil]

I have external style sheets set up in the following hierarchy:

portal.asp
|---(link) portal/CSS/portal.css
|---(import) /core/CSS/core.css
| |---(import) /CSS/base.css
| | |---(import screen) base_screen.css
| | |---(import print) base_print.css
| |---(import screen) core_screen.css
| |---(import print) core_print.css
|---(import screen) portal_screen.css
|---(import print) portal_print.css

The diagram makes it look overly complex, basically the hierarchy is 3 levels deep (page -> section -> base) with each level importing its own print and screen style sheets. This works fine in Mozilla, IEWin6 and Safari but IE Mac keeps loading forever. The status bar displays 'Receiving HTML document (0 bytes of x, 0 byts/sec).

Has anyone run into this issue before?

Identified the cause, if you @import a stylesheet which is empty (no text), IE Mac will load forever. Putting /* */ in the file or not importing it if it is empty solves the problem.
