I would think its more the design of the web page for different browsers.
Use IE 8 Compatibility Mode when you run across web pages that appear as you
described above.

The following is taken from your IE8 help and support files included with
IE8.

Why don't some websites display correctly in Internet Explorer 8?

The information in this Help topic applies to Windows Internet Explorer 8.

Websites that were designed for earlier versions of Internet Explorer might
not display correctly in the current version. However, you can often improve
how a website will look in Internet Explorer by using a new feature called
Compatibility View.

When you turn on Compatibility View, the webpage you're viewing—as well as
any other WebPages within the website's domain—will be displayed as if you
were using an earlier version of Internet Explorer.

To turn on Internet Explorer Compatibility View
Open IE8
Click the Tools button, and then click Compatibility View.

If Internet Explorer recognizes a webpage that is not compatible, you will
see the Compatibility View button on the Address bar. To turn Compatibility
View on or off, click the Compatibility View button .

From now on, whenever you visit this website, it will be displayed in
Compatibility View. However, if the website receives updates to display
correctly in the current version of Internet Explorer, Compatibility View
will automatically turn off.

Note
Not all website display problems are caused by browser incompatibility.
Interrupted Internet connections, heavy traffic, or website bugs can also
affect how a webpage is displayed.

What is the URL of "the page" in question?

I just tried that URL in Firefox 3. Only two graphics appear: one is a
small picture of a hand typing on a keyboard - looks like a low
resolution image (only 4700 bytes) - and the other is the symbol (?) for
the firm, which looks like a simple GIF. No other graphics that I can see.

Loads OK here on IE8 (8.0.6001.18783) on Vista HP

hi leonard, the picture on lower right loads for me but there should be links
down left hand side for other pages.

hi bill, if it loads in ie8 for you what could the problem be then? i've
also got a windows 7 machine with exact same problem.

Ah, another web site built using MS Publisher ("<meta name="ProgId"
content="Publisher.Document"/>") so it uses VML code, a Microsoft-
generated document format that was standardized with ECMA but that no
one wants to use (and instead would prefer SVG), not even Microsoft in
IE8 with them trying to make it more standards compliant.

"VML is no longer supported"
https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/fee...dbackID=333905
(mentions changes in IE8's support of VML)

"VML Changes in IE8"
http://ajaxian.com/archives/the-vml-changes-in-ie-8

IE8 cannot render VML images if size is given as a percentage instead of
pixels (as noted in the "% unit" mention in the above ajaxian article).
Rather than scaling an image by changing its percentage for size, you
now have to recalculate the dimensions.

"Site Compatibility and IE8"
http://msdnrss.thecoderblogs.com/200...ility-and-ie8/
(mentions no longer supporting VML's v\:* behavior selector)

As has been mentioned already in this thread, the site you have posted a
link for uses VML to render portions of the page. In order for the Menu on
that page to render you must enable "Binary and script behaviors" in the
Internet zone?

Tools||Internet Options||Security(tab)||Internet(zone)||Custom
Level...||ActiveX controls and Plut-ins

Set "Binary and script behaviors" to Enabled and see if it loads correctly
for you.

Good luck,
