CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all,
I have a problem that I have failed to fix for some time now. I am very new to all this and it is probably a simple bug.
I am using  CMS 1.8.2  template ShadowmenuTab+2cols on all pages. URL: lumimax.se
The homepage looks fine in;
Google Chrome
Firefox
I-Explorer 8.0 ( compatibility view turned off)

When Compatibility View is turned on (default mode)  some stuff on the page are in disorder.  
I have tried to put compatibility statements ( such as” IE=EmulateIE7”) in the meta-tags but it hasn’t helped. Without that as an option I have to find the source of the compatibilty problem in the code !! Havnt got a clue !”

My original 1.8.2 tar-file are no longer avalible so I  installed an entirely new 1.9. on a testbench that I set up.
Basic installation. Changed template to ShadowmenuTab+2cols on all pages. Clicked around using FF, Chrome and IE8. FF and  chrome OK.
IE8 (compatibility view=on) ( clicking on "default extensions"),the upper-left container lose its margin to Sidebar.
IE8 (compatibility view=off) (clicking on "default extensions") margin between main container and Sidebar remains OK
There is a compatibility problem in the sourcecode of template “shadowmenuTab+2”
URL: ledgents.com  (toggle comp view on off and check margins for containers.)

Anyone having ideas ?

@Ball-Ron: I admit I have not taken a closer look at the theme you refer to in your post, but one of the things you can try is to force IE into Quirks mode (or out - can never figure which!), by adding a DOCTYPE tag to the top of your HTML. I find that it helps IE deal with CSS in a more standard way. You can do this by adding a reference like the example below to the very top of your template (all of them) above the tag:
Of course if you are not using STRICT in your HTML , you can use whatever is appropriate (TRANSITIONAL for instance), but just having any DOCTYPE seems to coax IE in behaving more "normally".

Hope this helps.
