title: IE8 Inconsistent Rendering when Reloading
body: <p>I am working on fixing a website that doesn't work in the new release of IE8.  After a bit I found out that you can force IE8 to render as IE7 with the following meta tag:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;!--
    Meta tag for IE8 so that it always displays the site in IE7 Compatibility mode
   --&gt;
  &lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;X-UA-Compatible&quot; content=&quot;IE=EmulateIE7&quot; /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>I have found that although the page loads fine when you specify this meta-tag; However, when you click or press the refresh button after the initial load of the page, the page renders completely wrong (see bellow):</p>
  <p><a href="https://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a58/Maskkkk/refresh.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a58/Maskkkk/refresh.jpg" width="400" height="356" /></a></p>
  <p>This really seems like an IE8 bug to me, as I've never seen any other browser render inconstantly on a page refresh.</p>
  <p>As anyone else noticed this?</p>
