Your source code is non-standard (also known as invalid). The page works OK in IE 7 but not in IE 8. If I change to either compatibility mode or to IE 7 standards mode in IE 8 it works OK. So you have at least two possible choices:

Validate your code to at least HTML 4.01 Transitional at:
http://validator.w3.org/
Use a compatibility meta tag in the head of your page as the first thing after your opening HTML tag:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" >

But because your code is so non-standard, or possibly for other reasons, #2 may not work. For more information on compatibility meta tags, see:
