A friend of mine told me she has problems running telerik controls under Internet Explorer 8. I recalled reading somewhere there is a tag you need to add to your page in order to force IE 8 behave like IE 7 (where telerik controls work great), I did some search and here is the tag:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
Add it to your pages head section and you should be ok with telerik controls.
Edit: as Veskoni commented out, telerik controls are fully compaitable with IE 8 since Q1 2009 SP1, so it will be a lot better to upgrade to that version (or above).

Thanks, Veskoni!
The post was edited to be up to date.
Btw, I was just wondering - how the issues were resolved? Can you please enlight us?
Does telerk controls insert the tag from the post?
Or are there significant changes to the markup and scripts to resolve those issues?
I am asking you because I think there may be people who used some tricks with the scripts / markup and heavilly rely on the markup / scripts which were part of the previous realeases. Should they expect issues signifficant issues?
As far as I know the fixes are in the skins (CSS rules), in the javascript code (additional checking for version IE8) and eventually the server code (again checking for IE8 version).
Thanks, Veskoni!
This is one of the most usefull posts that I have found in a long time, thank you very much for the fix. The new Telerik Ajax controls Q1 2009 indeed resolved the bucket-issues in IE 8 but we are still using Telerik classic ASP controls Q1 2009 hotfix which does not work under IE. The project is to big to migrate to Ajax control on the short term. We will be doing so next year 2010
You are quite welcome!
Thank you for your kind words!
thank you so much Mr. Veskoni, you are a life saver...:)
