Answer 1

I ran into something similar with IE 8 and 9 and found I had a different problem in my code that's worth mentioning.

I had a div with width 100%, then a div that had max width of 980px.

For some reason the max width wasn't being seen, and an element inside that 980 div which was supposed to float right was not.

I ran the page through w3 code validater and it caught a comment that was before the doctype declaration and said that IE would be in "quirks" mode.

As soon as I moved that commend below the doctype declaration the validater's 'quirks' mode warning went away and everything worked fine in IE 8 and 9.
