That was it. I was using Paul Irish's trick with conditional comments to feed IE's CSS w/o conditionals with this: <!--[if lt IE 7 ]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="ie6"> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 7 ]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="ie7"> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 8 ]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="ie8"> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 9 ]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="ie9"> <![endif]--> <!--[if gt IE 9]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <![endif]--> <!--[if !IE]><!--><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><!--<![endif]--> Mr. Irish using it on the body, with classes, but read on his site that using on the html element was fine as well. Guess not. I think I'll stick to the tried and true conditional comments it's it's traditional use...
