Ensuring strict mode in IE 8

I'm apparently triggering quirks mode (or at least IE 7 standards mode) even though I've added the strict doctype: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"&gt; and the IE compatibility list meta: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> I've looked at the Developer Tools...

I have a Joomla 1.5 site with a client login on the page (rather than going right into the back-end) using the standard Joomla module, but when the login is accessed via IE* the tag displays in blue.
