title: IE processing CSS differently on different pages
body: <p>I'm having some trouble with IE not reading all of my CSS on the homepage of a website that I'm editing. I've checked to see that it validates (it's still showing that some  tags aren't closed even though that's not true but whatever). I CANNOT get rid of the inline styles specifically because the content management system (Volusion) overwrites much of the code that I write, so I've been forced to write a lot of inline code. The CSS page is loaded so that the header region has the styles: </p>
  
  <pre><code>#header{ z-index:1; 
           width:100%; 
           opacity:.85; 
           background:rgba(200,200,200,.85); 
  
           /*For IE*/ 
           background-color: rgb(200, 200, 200); 
           opacity(0.85); }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I originally ran it without "background-color" because rgba(200,200,200,.85) should work with IE but in this case it isn't. In fact, even before I changed it to add 'background-color' the other pages were drawing from this CSS perfectly. The home page however reads background-color, but that's the only thing it takes from this. It is clearly reading from the Template.CSS file because it references it, however the opacity is not being used and the header is being placed after images which are 'fixed' and so should be hovering above those images. The same is happening to the other elements within the header. I have btn-group:first-child as having: </p>
  
  <pre><code>.btn-group a:first-child{ 
         border-radius: 4px 0 0 4px; 
         text-decoration:none; 
         font-weight:bold; } 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but none of these styles are applied on the home page. In fact .btn-group doesn't show up at all on the styles list. I know that it <em>can</em> read this because if you go to any other page of the website you'll see how it should look (it's nearly perfect). The homepage however doesn't work. </p>
