Hello All,

This is an issue regarding page rending on IE8.

I have a Java web application site. The pages render properly on IE6, IE7 and Firefox. However, I am facing page rendering issues on IE8. Some of the elements are not getting displayed properly on IE8, and some of them are overlapping.

However, when I shift my IE8 to compatibility mode, the same page renders as expected.

Also, the issue ws not generated while development on local machines. But, when I am accessing the site through www, the issue resurfaces.

Can anyone suggest the exact reason and a perfect solution for this strange issue.

Thanks and Regards,  
Mohammad Ibrahim
