I have an h2 within a div. Both of them have borders. The h2 has a height attribute and a margin. When I view my page in IE6, IE7, or IE8 compatibility view, the h2 is all the way at the top of the div as if the margin is 0. However, if I view it in any other browser, the h2 has some space above it like I would expect.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and what to do about it. I am trying to make the page render in IE like it does in Firefox, without setting the height to auto.
Here is a page you can test to show the problem. Try viewing it in IE6 or IE7, then try it in any other browser:

div {
border: solid blue 1px}
h2 {
height:33px; margin:80px 0 0; border: solid red 1px}
</style>
</head>
