I switched the menu and main content position to the default one (menu on the
right) and reversed related changes, now the browse and advanced pages look
fine in IE8. It still picks up the IE7 stylesheet, but it displays ok.
(Our institution wanted the menu on the left; since it causes so many
positioning problems, now we are ok with the default layout.)
If you know how to add a new stylesheet to a theme, please do share it! (It
doesn't work by changing the global sitemap.xmap and local sitemap.xmap, see
below).
Thank you!

Subject: IE8 and Manakin
Hi, all,
Does your institution's Manakin look all right in IE8? In our case, the
browsing page pagination.info and ds-artifact-list all drop down, and the
advanced search page
doesn't display right either. Here are my questions:
-How to add an IE8 css to the Kubrick theme or any other theme? Tried to modify
the global sitemap.xmap and the local sitemap.xmap as Ryan did (see below for a
past post), however, Manakin in IE8 still picks up the IE7 stylesheet (in our
case). I also followed suggestions by a past post and added compatibility mode
to the buildheader section (added this line "<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"
content="IE=EmulateIE7"/>"), it doesn't make much different though.
-What adjustments do you recommend to make the pages in IE8 display right?
Please kindly reply if you have any insight(especially if you use Kubrick
theme. We switched to Kubrick theme recently and we use 1.6.2).
Thanks a lot!
Sophie

issues with xmlui and IE8
I'm having CSS issues with IE8. I'm using a slightly modified version of the
Kubrick theme that comes packaged with Manakin. Spacing of the sidebar,
header and footer are way off in IE8.
I noticed that when I access my site using IE8, it uses two stylesheets:
style.css and style-ie6.css. My first thought was to try and adjust that to
use the style-ie7.css. I tried to fix it by doing the following:
1) In the global sitemap.xmap, I added a line:
<map:selectors>
<map:selector name="browser" ...>
...
*<browser name="explorer8" useragent="MSIE 8"/>*
...
2) In the theme's sitemap.xmap I added another set of lines:
<map:select type="browser">
...
*<map:when test="explorer8">*
* <map:transform type="IncludePageMeta">*
* **<map:parameter name="stylesheet.screen#1" value="lib/css/style.css"/>*
* **<map:parameter name="stylesheet.screen#2"
value="lib/css/style-ie7.css"/>*
* **<map:parameter name="javascript#1" value="lib/jquery-1.2.min.js"/>*
* **<map:parameter name="javascript#2" value="lib/kubrick-jquery.js"/>*
* **<map:parameter name="theme.path" value="{global:theme-path}"/>*
* **<map:parameter name="theme.name" value="{global:theme-name}"/>*
* </map:transform>*
* </map:when>*
...
However I didn't have any luck -- IE8 still identifies itself as useragent
"MSIE 8", but somehow I'm still ending up with pages using the IE6
stylesheet.
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot,
Ryan
