Why does IE8 add bottom border on my image anchor tag?

First off, here's the website: www.mchenry.edu View it in IE8 and hover over the top bann...

Is IE8 backwards compatible?

Hopefully some has some knowledge of this. I'm fast realising that IE8 certainly can't be ignored anymore. I had previously put it down to either a) just a buggy piece of software, or b) still to small a piece of the market share. Now, however, I'm seeing more and more requirement to make sure sites work on it. My question is can I ...

Does IETester run the ACTUAL same code that existed for IE6 / IE7? Or is it an emulation?

I just realized (yes, this was stupid of me) that IE8 Compatibility Mode is NOT IE7. All the time I assumed they would be switching back to the IE7 binaries, which apparently they aren't, as indicated by another question I found here in SO. My question is... Does anyone know how IETester works? Does it run the actual binaries for IE6/7?...

Thickbox won't submit in IE8

I have a Thickbox on a page, using the inline method, that contains a form. I can't get it to submit in IE8. When I click the submit button, it's supposed to send an email and close itself, but nothing happens - the Thickbox remains on the page and I receive no email. It all works fine in Firefox and even IE7. <p><a href="#TB_inline?he...

Internet Explorer 8 + Deflate

I have a very weird problem.. I really do hope someone has an answer because I wouldn't know where else to ask.

ASP.NET Menu Control getting padded with white space on IE8

If you have used the ASP.Net menu control on your website and recently updated your browser to IE8, you will probably have noticed your menu no longer renders properly.

Jquery UI in IE8: suspending sort behavior while resizing an element that is sortable and resizable

I have a list of elements which I would like to make sortable and resizable using Jquery UI. Combining them works great in Chrome and Firefox. But in IE8 (both in normal and compatibility view), either behavior works great when used separately, but when combined, the resulting mixed behavior is undesirable. My expectation is that resi...

IE8 loses my session data when using payment gateway

This is a really strange problem, that appears to be somewhat intermittent (although it has started consistently occurring now - possibly due to a Windows Update?). My code has previously worked fine in IE7, and continues to work in Firefox, Chrome, and seemingly any other browser but IE8. I'm setting some session data and then passin...
