Since this is relating to CSSOM and HTML5 which IE8 will not support and since IE8 'doesn't' have the 'hasLayout' hack/bug [1] why not just ignore what IE5~IE7 does. Then the quirks mode of IE9 will be IE8 standard mode behavior. This seems the sensible approach for interoperability. IE8 still has the old bug [2] where the background-color doesn't begin at the border box (this may be corrected in a later beta ???) but does this also apply for in IE8 when the parent has a border? I can not test locally anymore. :-) [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Dec/0151.html [2] http://www.brunildo.org/test/BackgroundBorder2.html Alan
