Strange Behaviour when Editing using IE

Permalink
One of my clients has tried to edit her site that I built (and host in-house) and she is experiencing problems when using IE8. I have attached a screenshot but it seems that the top C5 icons are stacking above each other rather than displaying in-line. The problem does not occur in Chrome or in Firefox, just IE. I cannot duplicate her problem using IE8 on my machines.

Is it possible that her business (State Government Department) has altered the settings of IE8 as a part of their standard operating system (SOE)setup on all their computers. They do not allow alternate browsers to be installed so she has to do her editing from home. I am not sure where to start looking for this solution so I am interested if anyone else has experienced this problem.

Regards Ian

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that it is probably an issue with the scope of her CSS. What is the URL for the site? I could firebug it and look into it, but right off the bat, it seems to me that the CSS is interfering with the toolbar icons.

From what I could see, it seems that it's an issue with CSS or some interference with the <li> elements in the C5 toolbar.
Try and put this in the head to see if it remedies the problem.
<!--[if IE 8]>
<style type="text/css">
ul#ccm-system-nav li, ul#ccm-main-nav li, ul#ccm-main-nav li.ccm-nav-rolloversOff:hover
{
float:left!important;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->

Throw that in the header.php of the site and see if that does it.
