Hi,

I'm having some problems with some CSS properties in IE8.

I've tested my site in IE7, Chrome and Firefox and they work fine but IE8 is having some layout issues.

I inspect the developer tool option on ie8 and I've noticed that some of the properties I set in CSS are being ignored by ie8. For example:

    #header
{
 position: relative;
 padding: 20px;
 height: 100px;
 background:url(header.png);

}

In this header IE8 ignored the height property: If I inspect the element in developer tools it is missing that property and it's crushed into another line:

background:url;HEIGHT: 100PX

The same thing happens for floats too:

#logon
{
float: left;
text-align:right;
width:20%;
height: 40px;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right:7px;
border:0;
margin:0;
background: url(navgradient.gif);
}

This ignores the float value:

background: url(navgradient.gif); FLOAT:left;

What is happening here and how can I fix it?
