Q: My ASP.NET site's menus show as blank/white when my page is
rendered in IE8 standards mode.  The menus only work if I turn
on compatibility view.  What's up with that?  A: This is
actually a standards-compliance bug in the ASP.NET framework.  A
fix for ASP.NET is available; see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/962351  You can learn more about
the issue here:
