That was one of the problems - we couldn't see what he was complaining about in 
ie7, ie8 or even ie6!! But if ie8 was the first to introduce "Compatibility 
View" then he *must* have had that as when grilled he admitted to clicking on 
"compatibility-something". Turned it off and his "problems" went away too. It 
was some bizarre bug from memory, (ok, so what ie bugs aren't bizarre ... ) so 
adding

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

as appropriate to page templates might be a worthwhile exercise. 

Thanks,
