Exhibit, Tile View, Lens is not CSS formatted in IE8

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have styled my lens for the Tile View with CSS. In FF 3.5, Safari, Opera

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. IE8 ( 8.0.6001 )
2. WIN XP
3. Example attached

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect, that the lens is formatted with the styles from the CSS.
Instead in IE8 i see unformated HTML

What version of the product are you using? On what browser and what
operating system?
See above

Please provide any additional information below.
In the attached zip there is the HTML file, the datafile and the CSS file.
Try in FF and then in IE8.

Suffering same issue. Works even in IE7 (technically, IE8 in compatibility mode)

Adding a 

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

to force IE7 compatibility results in the exhibit failing to initialise at all 
(different failure than clicking the 'compatibility mode' button in the address 
bar.)

i am now using the thumbnail view and that seems to work fine in IE7 and IE8 
with the
meta-tag <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

Moreover, I advise that Internt Explorer must be destroyed.

I tried using IE7 compatibility tag in IE8 and face following issues in various 
versions of exhibit API

api-2.0 : Nothing gets displayed in tile view
api-2.1.0 : IE 8 shows up 4 items more than what is in my database (all extra 
items 
being null contents). Count displayed 116 where as I have 112 items in DB. 
api-dev : seem to work fine. CSS is applied well and count is right.

Is it too risky to use api-dev version in a product yet ?

IS it possible to sort this IE 8 Issue for Timeplot. I implemented Timeplot in 
my 
source. 

It works very well for all browsers except IE 8. In IE8 it is not showing up 
graph. 

If i use 
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
some how Timeplot works in IE8, but while working, it is affecting other pages. 

for example, I have a Boxes having data inside which represent a sensor ,it get 
tiled in the view. 
If i use this EmulateIE7, this Boxes are getting aligned vertically.

Is there anyway to solve this problem. I tried debugging by modifying timeplot 
css 
files, but its of no use.

Plse Help me with this issue. 

" Now I have come to a point where i need to change my graph from timeplot to 
some 
other, since Timeplot is not working for IE 8 " 

Here, I have attached the snaps shots before and after using this Compatibility 
Tag
