I have this code working in all browser say firefox, chrome, IE7, but IE8 is showing some problem, can anybody look into it, i need this div to act flexible, image coming from database can be smaller to bigger in size. overflow auto with width auto is having some problem, see below

<div id=“floating_form_body” style=“background-color:#ffffff;background-image:none;max-height:39em;max-width:39em;padding:2.5em 1.56em 1.56em 1.56em;width:auto;overflow:auto;float:left”>

                &lt;img  src="../resources/images/close.jpg"/&gt;         
         
&lt;/div&gt;

div#floating_form_body {
width: 28.91em;
padding: 1.95em;
background-image:url(…/resources/images/toparea_bg.gif);
background-position:top;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-color:#F1F1F1;
}
