Question

I can’t seem to work out what’s missing. All the affected elements have display:block

Example style for the header element:

header
{
    width: 923px;
    height: 55px;
    background: #395168;
    margin-top: 25px;
}

Answer 1

Solved the issue. What i did was that i put the script-link under the stylesheet link and suddenly IE 6-8 applied my styles.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/style.css" type="text/css">

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

Thank you so much for trying to help me 🙂
