I am kinda new to CSS. I am a student at a charter school learning to be come a programmer. Right now we are making Web Portfolios. Anyway, I am using PHP/CSS for my website and I need a little help. My background for my website is black, and it works fine in Firefox. But for some reason when I open my web page in IE the background is white! I have done a ton of searching and no luck thus far. (I have the the most recent versions of both Firefox and IE) Here is my code:
My CSS Style Sheet:
body
{
background: #000000;
font-family: arial;
}
div.transbox
{
width: 700px;
background-color: #B5B5B5;
/* for IE */
filter:alpha(opacity=90);
/* CSS3 standard */
opacity:0.9
/* for Mozilla */
-moz-opacity:0.9
}
div.transbox p
{
margin: 30px 40px;
}....
My Index Page:
<?php
include ('./includes/header.html');
?>
s923 - Home
Welcome!
....
So if you could please help me thanks! If you need some more code from my website or a screenshot please ask.

there.
You need to remove this bit:
<?php
include ('./includes/header.html');
?>
s923 - Home
Welcome!
Welcome to my portfolio website.
<?php
include ('./includes/footer.html');
?>
as it seems to be redundant - header.html takes care of it.
