blank page in IE7

I, like many others, hate IE simply because it doesn't go along with standard and bothers every site anybody attempted to make in the history of the web. I've checked this site in FF, NS, and Opera and they're perfect; identical. IE7 renders a blank page. Why? Probably because it's not rendering the style sheet. Why? I have no idea. All I know is this site is so simple right now, if you take away the style sheet you're pretty much looking at nothing. Here's the page's code and the CSS will follow.

..and the CSS..

The answer, to assist others that may run into the same problem, lies within IE7's rendering engine. Apparently IE7 (and in some instances, earlier versions of IE) has a problem rendering elements with background images whos parent and/or child is also plastered with a background image. The hasLayout property can fix the problem. Refer to the link below:
