Are you testing in IE8 on a virtual PC? I have IE8 (over written IE7) and I can toggle each mode and all three test will show different results. http://css-class.com/test/images/IE8~5q.png http://css-class.com/test/images/IE8~7s.png http://css-class.com/test/images/IE8~8s.png But when I initially came to the page. http://css-class.com/test/images/IE8~mystery.png This would mean that it critical which mode of IE8 your in when enter the page. Once you start toggling that take precedence over the meta. background: #ffcc00; backg\round: #006633; width: 400px; wid\th: 300px; Maybe testing with just one escape may show a difference. My bundled IE5 and IE6 now are using my IE8 conditional comments (pale yellow background for the header). http://css-class.com/test/images/ie5-ie6-ie8.png So this means that when using IE8 conditional comments to test correctly, you need a virtual PC or separate PC.
