I had to remove the comment markers (<!-- -->) in the header to get
IE8 to recognize Blueprint's ie.css. Without ie.css, my site won't
display at all in IE8. Just the background shows.

But now ie.css is overriding style.css, and this is screwing up my
display in Firefox! I've used <hr class="space"> throughout the site,
and the ie.css style rules are screwing up the spacing in Firefox.

And for the that matter, the spacing looks bad in IE as well.

How do I fix this problem? Isn't there some way to conditionally call
ie.css?

Thank you.

Please consult google with something like "conditional comment IE" to
target everything the way you need it (eg. lte IE8).

IE8 is not supposed to render ie.css. It's only intended for IE 7 and below.
