> Thanks Sanford - what do you mean by "Document in IE8" standards?
There are two different variables: Browser Mode and Document Mode. Roughly speaking, BM is governed by the HTTP header or META http-equiv X-UA-Compatible (or absence of same), while DM is governed by DOCTYPE (or absence of same). The final rendering of a given page depends on the "hybridizing" of both vars. MSDN and MSDN blogs get into the interactions in much depth. I used IE Dev Tools to force the latest model of each var (BM in IE 8 Native, DM in IE Standards) and was able to see your Fx -- suggesting that you had something else going on which was creating an unstable hybrid, while there are working hybrids on either "side," either more BC or less BC. -- Sandy
