Yes Chris, I think that's better too.

The two links above give me some hints but I still haven't figured out the
whole picture.

For those who don't know, as described here:

http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/06/10/introducing-ie-emulateie7.aspx

You can use the following meta-tag to tell IE8 to automatically display in
compatibility mode:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

Hope it helps ;-)

OpenLayers has not been tested much in IE8. I would say that for the 2.8
release or earlier, the bst solution is simply to add the compatibility
mode flag.
