I can't seem to get my website to work properly on IE8 yet it works fine on Firefox. I can't seem to suss out where I've gone wrong as some other sites that I've designed using the same techniques work fine in both. If anyone could have a look see for me and shed some light on the problem it would be appreciated. The links in my sig.

If your site works in IE7, you might be suffering from the new rendering thingamajig Microsoft changed for IE8.

You can try adding this meta tag:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7"/>

in the head of your page(s) to force Internet Explorer 8 to render the content as Internet Explorer 7 would.
If in IE7 the layout is still rendered differently, the usual suspects are usually the margin and padding CSS values when DIV layers are nested, as IE deals with inheritance differently than other browsers.
