I have run into some troubles viewing the chat on the new Internet Explorer 8. the worst problem was the chat flooding the area outside the chat frame.

the right coloumn that lists names of people in the room appears at the bottom of the screen - over where you enter the text - makes it impossible to join in the converations.

That's an issue with your theme, not the chat. I'm running IE8 and have no problems with the chat.

You will have to turn compability node on for ie8. I don't know how to fix this for ie8 without compability on.

Hope that helps.

This can be fixed by forcing compatibility mode.

Put this at the top of the head section of the page template you use for PFC.

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

l33roy, your issue looks related to jquery / prototype incompatibility.

If im not misstaken this is the main issue, className wont work in IE 8.
The following snippet is used alot, for example in pfcgui.js - function getOnlineContentFromTabId.

var className = (! is_ie) ? 'class' : 'className';

If you set up a variable is_ie8:

var is_ie8    = navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 8') > 0;

and then change to above code to:

var className = (! is_ie) ? 'class' : 'className';
className = (is_ie8) ? 'class' : className;

That fixed the issue for me atleast
