IE8 not loading CSS on occasion

This is killing me guys

http://publish.uwo.ca/~mchum/index.htm

Displays fine in FF, IE9. Some minor layout issues in Chrome, and mobile Safari

Whenever I try to load from the server in IE7, IE8, it's a crapshoot. It's usually more reliable on first-load, but if you press F5 (or even ctrl-F5), it won't load completely.

Sometimes it will load some of the background, and sometimes it won't load the CSS or the javascript at all.

The strange thing is it only works after I've uploaded it to the server; it doesn't occur locally.

I'm quite the rookie here, and still learning quite a bit. I'm almost feeling I've bitten off way more can I chew. Some (merciful) assistance please!

It looks like your web server has GZIP compression enabled. The post below talks about the headers you need to send so that IE handles your CSS and JS files consistently. I have ran into this with IE6 but it appears it may still be an issue with at least IE7.

I am not positive this is the issue but it is worth looking into.

Why is gzip compression with Internet Explorer not working?
