One option - albeit not ideal
Here is what I did so as to not spend the rest of my life trying to get our site working in all the browsers. I put the following line inside the <head> </head> tag
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
What this does is tells IE 8 to emulate IE 7 when displaying your page.
I know this is not ideal, but who has the 900 million years to spend on getting a webpage to look the same in IE 6, IE 7, IE 8, Safari, Firefox, Chrome.
Microsoft just doesn't get it. They are a great company but seriosly.
Hope this helps.
