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;  
}
