It works for IE8, too. What happened with your client is that he probably was

into Compatibility View, which essentially means that your IE8 was behaving

that ;-)
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.
But you do have to account for people who are actually using IE7 :-) So
you can use the meta tag set to IE=7 for testing purposes so you can
discover the problem's solution.
