All of the Exploer series have been flawed, some are just worse than others.
8 is using a newer rendering engine but can be switched into a compatibility mode. I'm not sure that it will allow an embedded request in a page to ask it to switch over, I doubt it. I'll see if I can find anything on this.
As long as microsoft keep paying lip service to standards and then doing things that patently don't use them then this kind of problem is going to keep happening at every new version of most of their products.
You should try developing web pages, to get them to work on more than one version of IE is a real pain.
