I had the same problem because IE8-IE7 compatibility mode was automatically enabled on Intranet websites (Oo ?!), so my IE8 thought it was IE7. If this is also your problem, add
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" >
in headyour HTML document. This will make IE8 react like IE8 ... Thanks MS!
