## Background

With the current version of ClojureScript One (r193), the application does not work properly when viewed using IE8. There are two problems:

* IE8 defaults to IE7 compatibility mode. This results in the application not working at all because ClojureScript doesn't work under IE7.
* Even if you flip to IE8 mode, the gradient on the form page renders as black and white rather than blue. Looks terrible.

## Acceptance Criteria

The application works acceptably well (meaning some minor visual defects are acceptable) under IE8.

## Tech Notes

The reason we didn't catch this earlier is that we were testing using either IE9's compatibility modes or IETester. Neither of those catches both of these problems, so it's important to verify behavior using an actual IE8 instance.
