 * I am using a browser specific css. I have it linked from my header using this:
 *     ```
       <!--[if IE]>
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/iestyle.css" />
       <![endif]-->
       ```
   
 * The problem seems to be that my default css and my IE specific css are bumping
   heads. My page shows up totally blank in Internet Explorer. The “body” of my 
   css is where my background image is, However, when I removed the “body” portion
   from my ie css the background image shows up in Internet Explorer.
 * I’m just wondering if I have to set my site up to use a different id or class
   specifically for my ie css? And if so, how do I do that? If not, why can I not
   use the same id or class name?

 * I figured out that I actually have to put a append a hack to get it to work. 
   so I applied * html and everything is showing up now.
