Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP

I witnessed how Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) is in Windows XP and how it works in Windows Vista / 7. Oddly enough, IE8 seems to act like IE7 for certain aspects of CSS and JavaScript (maybe for other elements too). Am I the one who sees things? Otherwise, if so, why is this happening and what are the main differences in IE8 for Windows XP and IE8 for Windows Vista / 7?

Make sure your IE8, which acts like IE7, has not flipped to "Compatibility Mode." There is a switch in the user interface that allows the user to turn it over to the "behave kind-like like IE7" setting. I just found out about it today, and it really pissed me off. (I knew that IE8 could do this, but I did not know that this was under user control!)

Here's the trick: grab a page that you know should put it in IE8 standards mode, pick it up in your weird browser, and then run the developer tools and see what it says that the page mode is at the top of this window.

Also check out the "Document Compatibility Modes" section to make sure that you can get the page to work in IE8 mode, which can help solve your problem.
