Layout issue with website when in compatibility mode

I noticed the layout of a website is all jacked up when viewing in IE8 in compatibility mode (assuming this means IE7 and/or IE6 as well) compared to viewing it in IE8 and Firefox. Since the site renders fine in IE8 and Firefox, I'm guessing that means I need to override certain styles for IE6/IE7. Are there any tools that I can use li...

"text-decoration" and the ":after" pseudo-element

Like all right-thinking people, I hate to click on a link and discover too late that it leads to a browser-crippling PDF or Microsoft Office file.
