Have you ever hit send on a question, and then immediately realise your goofy 
mistake?

I, of course, forgot to include the HTML5 shim script in this page, so IE 8 and 
7 won't style HTML5 elements which they don't recognize as valid.

Sigh, need more coffee. Carry on.

Subject: IE8 (and I believe IE7) not picking up certain styles

Good morning,

I have a bit of a mystery on my hands. I have a CMS that is pumping out markup 
that should be pretty consistent. Each page usually is styled by three 
stylesheets, one that contains styles common to all page, one that contains 
styles relating to the pages layout, and one that contains styles specific to 
the section the page is located. I use these in combination throughout the site 
with great success.... Except one page.

I have no idea what it is about this page, but it appears that IE8, and perhaps 
IE7, is not rendering it properly. It appears that it is not respecting certain 
styles. The page has to two columns, #stories and #more-stories. However, in 
IE8, they take up the full width of their parent, and stack on top of each 
other.

What I find boggling is that in the example page I link to below, I have given 
#stories an inline style of "outline:1px solid red;", but even inline styles 
aren't being respected in IE8.

If anyone has any idea what is going on, I would love to hear it!
