IE8 beta vertical-align headache

[carpeliam]

I've just started checking over my website in Internet Explorer 8 beta, thinking I wouldn't see any problems. I do, unfortunately.

Every other browser in existence, from Firefox to Safari to IE5.5, displays my website the way I want it to. IE8 doesn't. I've attached a graphic that shows this:

I have a table (boo, using tables for layout, I know, but it's less of a pain this way) with some text in each cell. There are also some background images. For some reason, in IE8, the text is vertically aligned with the base of the table, where every other browser vertically aligns the text in the middle. Is this an IE8 bug, or do I have something to worry about? Here's a link to the offending website.

It is always advisable to validate your code before trying to solve odd behaviour.

I second Audiopro's suggestion.
You have a slew of errors that may or may not be affecting the way IE8 displays the page. However you should fix those, before attempting anything else:

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Remembering IE7 betas, I would not worry too much about your page rendering correctly in a beta version of a browser. Just wait until the final is released and deal with it then.
