Your expectation was correct.

The steps you described above appear correct to me. Did you check for
errors in cache.log when starting Squid? Squid should complain if it
cannot load err_page_stylesheet but, unfortunately, Squid thinks that
you do not really care much about style and keeps running despite any
loading failures.

Temporary renaming the stylesheet file (so that Squid cannot load it)
will help you test whether you are looking for errors in the right place.


HTH,
