Problems with IE8 was created by stefanm112

Hi

i will release my new Homepage with the really great Flashes-Template in about 4 Weeks and a little Group of my Friends are testing the Site
i heard about Problems with IE8 under WinXP....
The height and width of the content area have the same size over all sites and they can´t be scrolled down :-(

If the User acitvate the compatible-mode the problems are solved

so i searched in the www and found this code to activate the mode automatically

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

my questions:
is this code the best way ore do you have any other ideas?
if this is the best way... on wich position / file of the template i have to implement it?

it seems the problem is only with IE8 under WinXp

sorry for my bad english ;-)

Thanks
Stefan

We are unable to debug that , because we don't have Win XP with IE8, and apparently Microsoft fixed some things in emulators of browsers but not in browsers, so situation is if it works it is ok.
