Ie 8 issues - control wrapper - Google charts - internet-explorer-8

I am using google charts and is working fine on all browsers except IE 8.
The problem in ie8 is, the graph will continue to stretch to the down and doesn't stop.
I am using following thing.
google.visualization.ControlWrapper
and
google.visualization.ChartWrapper
and my packages are
google.load("visualization", "1.1", {packages:["controls",'corechart']});
Please give me a workaround for IE 8 in particular.
Waiting for the reply.

I solved this issue. The issue was in "smart resize". This doesn't work in IE 8. So please avoid this in IE 8.
NOTE : Google chart do work in IE.

SymbolSet Issues in IE8

I have been using Symbolset fonts (Standard and Social) for a few months now and love them. Recently I have been noticing some issues in IE8 though. Some sites I am doing are not loading at all in IE8. It has this in the bottom social bar: http://cl.ly/image/3y1o2R2X2L1t, which makes me think it has to do with the Symbolset files. I can't for the life of me figure out what the issue is though. Any ideas what might be causing the issue or something I may be missing?
Thanks!
It's possible that the font format you're trying to feed to IE 8 is not supported.
TTF/OTF, for example, is partially supported in IE 9 and 10 but not supported in IE 8.
http://caniuse.com/ttf
I would check the compatibility table on this page. http://blog.symbolset.com/browser-support
For IE8 I have used the unicode option to get the desired result.
Example
<i class="ss-icon ss-social"></i>

IE8 not supporting Google Charts (Pie Chart)

IE8 is not rendering Google Charts (Pie Charts).
It is giving me an error saying :
SCRIPT5: Type mismatch: jsapi, line 20 character 89
I have tried looking on the web for a solution, tried all of them, but to no use.
I am debugging my application using IE Developer tool, with the following setting:
Browser Mode : IE8
Document Mode: IE standards.
Any suggestion would be of great help.
This seems like a problem with the emulator (and google charts) in IE9+, I am right now trying to get a standalone IE8 running in a VM to try it on but I've seen reports here that it works when you are actually using IE8.

DropShadowExtender in ie9

I have a very wierd problem and I dont know where to begin to fix it. I have tried my website on 8 computers using IE9 and for 2 of them the page doesnt show the correctly. I found out that when I take out the dropshadowextender it looks ok. So what I did is first try to go in cleared out all cookies, etc.. and then went into advanced settings to compare the ones that were working to the ones that were not, but that didnt work. I tried the site on all machines using FireFox on all computers and they work fine. My problem is what could it be causing those 2 computers to not show up correctly. I could see if it showed up wrong when I ran the site on all computers.
CSS3 Pie is a .htc file that, when placed on your server, provides extra code for IE so it can render many CSS3 styles on IE9, 8 and 7 properly.
Works well. Worth checking out.

IE 8 and IE 7 compatability issues

I have a site that was designed mostly for IE 8, but we've now discovered that some of our clientele use IE 7 and even IE 6 as well. Unfortunately, because of what I'm assuming are CSS issues, these pages don't look the same in IE 7 as they do IE 8. I was wondering if there were any tips or things to avoid when develop a site to be cross-browser version compatible. The main problem in IE 7 is the position of items in the navigation menu. The elements seem to be pushed to the right in IE 7 when compared with IE 8.
The link for the site is here
I would love to post the html and css but I'm new and can't really figure it out. Please let me know if you need any other info. If anybody had any ideas or thoughts, they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Google "ie conditional stylesheet", its a pain, but it works. Then setup some virtual machine(s) with the main targets you want to test. Alternatively, I believe that the recent versions of Visual Studio for web development ship with some tooling to see a comparison between how the different versions of IE would render a page.

Getting embedded google docs viewer to work under IE 7,8

Wanted to throw this question out to see if there's been any solutions as the Google Doc viewer is amazing.
Creating an iframe with an embedded Google Docs viewer does not work in IE 7,8.
https://docs.google.com/viewer
Does anyone have a work around?
I have the same problem, but didn't think it was acceptable to have to ask users to add the URL to their trusted sites in IE.
Luckily I came across the following post:
The embedded version of Google Docs Viewer (gview) will not load its images correctly if third party cookies are disabled. This problem is an issue for most IE users as by default it will be disabled. Below I provide a work around to this problem for at least until google adds a p3p. The original discussion of the issue can be found at google docs help forum.
I've tried this out and it works in IE8, IE7 and IE6.
I just tried an iframe targeting https://docs.google.com/viewer in IE7 and it is working.
But I have ChromeFrame installed in IE - maybe that's the reason it is working for me!
I tested displaying PDFs in Google Viewer with IE8 with following settings.
