Strange behavior ie8 css - fading / redisplaying background color?

I have a page that just has a dark gray background for bodywith divin the foreground that has a white background. On any browser other than IE 8 (even IE 7 seems to be working fine!), The page displays perfectly. However, in IE8, I see the background color for a second before it turns white. Even stranger, when I open the developer tools on IE8, a dark gray background appears again!

I tried this on three different computers, each with small versions of Windows, with the same results.

My only solution so far is to apply a dark gray background color to the element html, which seems to work, but I'm sure this is non-standard.

Any suggestions? Is this a known bug?

This is a bug in the jQuery version you are using ( v1.6.1).

I ran into the same problem in this question, it has all the information you need: Weird IE8 layout glitch - why does the background disappear?
