Andy,
Not posting a fix unfortunately but we too are using the X-UA-Compatible meta tag for IE 8 - the problems we were having were related to the pager on inplace grids not working without a manual refresh, though we don't have too much custom JS so no other show stoppers so far. We also have some jQuery use in noconflict mode but I haven't tested whether that required X-UA-Compatible - once we hit the pager bug that was enough to necessitate setting compatibility mode. I will be following this thread with interest. I think a kind of interface layer to allow pluggable third party js libs is in the pipeline ...

We are using jQuery, as you suggested. So, as I understand: - jQuery.noConflict() not working in IE8 (wo compatible mode) - the workaround is to enable compatible mode - IE8 and Javascript is to be considered broken I think that, by adding the last four links, you suggest that I replace scriptaculouos and prototype? Like Onno did and described in his blog? If so: I would not role my own tapestry.js (and keep it upd to date with Tapestrys evolution) and replae both js-libraries in order to solve this problem. That seems just like a bit too much for me. And, I would replace them with jquery, just like Onno. And if I did so, jQuery.noConflict() then would stil not work in IE8 without compatible mode...
