Is your max-width or max-height css not working in IE8? Neither was mine. I found plenty of hacks and ways around it, but none of them solved the issue once and for all.

One great little snip-it I found along the way was how to add inline hacks to the CSS file, for example:

width:200px\9; /* ie8 and earlier */
height:200px\9; /* ie8 and earlier */

You can use that, or \8 for IE7 and previous, etc. Great little trick.

BUT, the real culprit? The doctype! Apparently IE8 doesn’t recognise this:

!doctype html

But it DOES recognise this:

!DOCTYPE html

/end.
