<script>(function fix_ie8() {if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],”MSIE 8″)) {header(”X-UA-Compatible: IE=7″);}}
add_action(’send_headers’,’fix_ie8‘))();</script>

this was put right before the </head> tag.

I have done the necessary changes..please have a look and let me know if still something is wrong..plz plz do it for me.

http://thecollegehunt.com

But still I feel the index.php page and extra pages like

http://www.thecollegehunt.com/colleges.php

doesn't have a good/descriptive title tag,keyword meta tag and description meta tag.Do you think it won't affect much on SEO.

Your code wasn't able to be read or validated by a parser, and had 2 Document declarations in it, so instantly it would have affected it's SEO.

Also a container DIV called Title outside of the HTML acts against your SEO rather than for it, as it's considered word overloading - something frowned upon by Search Engines for the last 10 years (thats if any search engine read it, given that it was outwith the HTML).

Just stick within the rules of web development and you'll be fine :)

As mentioned by Kevin above,if I remove the top and bottom code it works fine.But the problem lies with the SEO.By removing these lines,the title mentioned in header.php file will be applied to front-page.php which will be common for all pages.For better SEO title and description of each page needs to be different.
I tried to put title tag value in header.php as &lt;?php forum_name()?&gt; - &lt;?php bb_title()?&gt; which works really great for topic pages but not the front-page.For front page,title tag value will have just the name of website,this will definitely affect Search Engine Ranking (I think so) as compared to title mentioned above.

I hope you are getting what I am trying to say.
Anyways without changing code,pages are properly displayed in IE just by refreshing it.

Basically, remove the top three lines of the file (header.php?), and the last line (footer.php?).

This site works best in Google Chrome.
&lt;div id="container"&gt;
&lt;title&gt;theCollegehunt-Best colleges,Best coaching classes,Career guidance,Examinations,Examination papers,College romance,College dating&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"&gt;
&lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US"&gt;
&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;theCollegehunt&lt;/title&gt;

Basically you need to remove


&lt;div id="container"&gt;
&lt;title&gt;theCollegehunt-Best colleges,Best coaching classes,Career guidance,Examinations,Examination papers,College romance,College dating&lt;/title&gt;

and the bottom DIV


&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
&lt;/div&gt; &lt;-------- REMOVE THIS ONE

My guess is there is a closing div missing or otherwise invalid code.

If it works in IE7 however, this mini-pluging will make it work again.

Microsoft is starting a semi-forced IE8 upgrade tomorrow via Automatic Updates.

Most novices will be too scared NOT to install it so the number of IE8 users will grow exponentially this week.

I thought that IE8 automatically renders pages like IE7 unless you tell it to behave better with a meta tag. At least that is what this article says:

http://www.robertnyman.com/2008/01/23/version-targeting-in-ie-8-and-an-alternative-path-for-microsoft/

So why is a code needed to tell IE8 to act like IE7, when supposedly it already does this?
I'm still researching and just not learning about IE8 so maybe I'm reading the above article wrong.

I only can't remember what that code was :)

But to be honest, these are dirty fixes. Since IE8 is more 'web standard compatible' then IE6 or 7 we should update the CSS files with the next release (and hopefully get rid of those: if IE then... code)

Thanks so much for posting this tip, _ck_. I've been fighting against weird layout issues and javascript screwiness ever since I installed IE8.

It locks you in. So everyone might want to avoid the temptation to play unless it's on a virtual box.
