1. This really depends upon

This really depends upon your theme. And how well your theme is made. Which one do you use?

2. I use garland.....

I used default garland theme for test.... the page that use panels 3 is off positon on internet explorer 8.....I also try other theme that come with default installation of drupal...same thing happen...i will try to download more theme from drupal site to test.....

3. You can also submit a bug

You can also submit a bug report on the panels project page at drupal.org, in case it is something panels related.

4. Re:Internet Explorer 8 compatibility

This is a bug with IE 8 rather than drupal and happens to be well documented among drupal web site developers testing on IE8. Check out the following links for more information:

Hope this helps.

5. i can bet it is because of

i can bet it is because of CSS files, ie is so dumb that he doesnt like more than a certain amount of css files to load so ill suggest to enable css optimization at your drupal performance settings (/admin/settings/performance) but be aware because now everytime you edit your css files you will have to clear caches otherwise it you wont notice any changes.

welcome to web developers nightmare... microsoft! xD

6. Right on!

Xdeminax, you are on point. Its the limits placed on CSS files that IE uses.

Microsoft can be a pain in the &*% for developers and solution/system integrators dealing with compatibility.

7. thanks!

saved me a lot of heartburn! this tip is still very valuable information :) and even more so with the tip about clearing caches after changes to css.
