Make IE8 render like IE7

IE8 is more a standards compliant browser than IE7. This makes some pages render incorrectly in IE8 if they are designed with to render properly in IE7.

You can force IE8 to render a page like IE7 by adding a special Meta tag in the <head> section as mentioned below:

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

Though it's a good idea to get everything working properly across all browsers the right way, this fix is a quick way to fix IE7 rendering issues in IE8.
