Internet Explorer 8 problem

F

Fred the Ted

I've just installed I.E 8 and my pages now look out of shape with white space
being added/extended between the tables/rows. On the old version they looked
ok. Please see http://www.benidorm.holidays-2.co.uk/. Does anyone know a
quick way to fix this problem as it affects all of the pages and there are
1,000's of them.

Hello,

Does it work in Compatibility View? Click the button beside the address bar
in IE8.

If so, force compatibility mode for all ie8 users visiting our site by
adding a

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

before the </head> end tag. So all you need to do is a mass find </head> and
replace with

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

The problem also affects FireFox 3, Google Chrome and probably every other
standards compliant browser. I have not found an answer, but as far as the
Home page is concerned, in my opinion it looks better with the space.

websites were showing up with pages all over the place. I'll now get working

Hello,

Sorry, the tag should be right *after* the <head> tag.

So it should be something like this after you make changes
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

Just find
<head>

And Replace with
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

I've tested it personally and it works on my end.
