IE8 and Standards mode
Hi,
I've been doing some web site layout and for the most part made my life easier by setting the document type to
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Now though when I view a site in IE8 the checkout section (registration, payment, and shipping pages) are all crammed over to the right of the page. If I force the pages to display in IE7 standards or Quirks mode they look ok but I am reluctant to remove the document type. FWIW at least one stats counter lists IE8 at 21% of global browser usage.
