[wp-hackers] Can't use the same conditional tag twice?

[Bryan Harley]

Peter/Jeremy,

I'm using the following code in both my header and footer.

<li class="<?php if ( is_home() ) { echo 'current_page_item'; } ?>"><a
href="URLHERE">Welcome</a></li>

Here's the CSS:

li.current_page_item a{border-bottom: 3px solid #ec1c24;}

But the border is only showing in the header, not the footer.  To
correct this, I left my header code the same and changed the footer
code to:

<li class="<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { echo 'current_page_item'; }
?>"><a href="URLHERE">Welcome</a></li>

That solved the problem, but I don't understand why it just didn't
WORK in the first place.  Which lead me to believe maybe you can only
use one conditional tag per page.
