IE 8 Problems

Hey guys,

I've got two websites that I've recently built and I've only just realised (yes i know, poor on my part) that the headers are screwed on IE8.. does anyone know why?

The sites are:

http://www.regalhousestudio.co.uk/ and http://www.hecticdesigns.co.uk/clients/tot/

MASSIVE thank you in advance!

I'm on mac so I have to keep going downstairs to a different computer to check.. it's a nightmare :(

Hi. The header tag is a html5 element. ie8 doesn't support html5 so it will render the element incorrectly. I would use html5shiv.js to enable the use of html5 elements in older browsers such as ie8 or use a standard div element instead.
