Problem Editing With IE 8

Permalink
I am using concret 5 version 5.3.1.1 because anything higher won't install properly on simplescripts.

My problem is that when i log in to edit my site with IE 8, return to my website, and then click on edit page, the menu bar is messed up at the top. Only dashboard, sign out, and help are available and they are stacked in the middle one on top of the other like three different menu bars. The outline for the blocks also don't show up and the header image is pushed down by the menu bar.

I use firefox on my computer with no problem, but the people I am making websites for have IE 8 and they need to be able to edit their content on their own.

If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful. I don't really know much about website programming and hacking.

I tried searching online, but found solutions for different problems with IE 8.

this sounds a lot like what IE6 looks like when it tries to use concrete5. are you sure internet explorer fully upgrades and you're not using some half copy? I generally have no issue with ie8. .. anyone else?

how about a screenshot?

FIX FOR THIS ISSUE:

Guys, ive been trying to fix this on and off for a while, but realised it was only affecting some of my themes and not others.. If you make sure the first three lines are at the top of your theme file look like this:

<? defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied.")); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html lang="en">

The stacked and centered toolbar issue in IE goes away :)

Hope this helps a few of you out there!

Mark.
