Hello, I hava an ie8 layout issue with some of the elements on this
web site (any pages within the 'gallery' section, not the other
parts of the web site): http://125.pratt.edu/gallery
You can use the yellow tabs navbar to sort the art items in the grey
boxes in different ways. I find that on some pages, the very last
'grey box' item on the page (last row, on the row) comes out messed
up, such as on this page:
http://125.pratt.edu/gallery/creative-fields/fine_art/12 The one for
'robert riger' has the text that goes with the image coming out on
the line below, instead of in its box where it belongs.
I believe that the comment you have before the DOCTYPE may be putting IE
into "quirks mode" - effectively IE 5.5. I'm on a Mac at the moment, so
can't see if this fixes your problem.
IE 8 introduced a different and more effective "mode switch" than
DOCTYPE. You can set the switch with this META tag early in your page,
or simply set it for all your pages from your server:

Note: I know that the link that is attached to the orange "give"
image in the left column throws many errors. I can't do anything
about that; that's the URL I need to point to! I don't think any of
the other errors would be causing this problem.
All browsers that I know of don't have a problem with those "unescaped
ampersands" in your URLs. But there are more serious errors in your
code, and you are using quite a lot of obsolete code. Check your CSS for
errors as well - I'm not sure if IE accepts unit-less numbers for
margins, but if so that might be another reason for IE to go haywire.
FWIW - Tidy will fix those URLs and a lot more beside:
