Thanks for the info Nuno. 

I don't think this is a fix for my though as all page, panel and window HTML fragments have this at the very top of each, nothing else before:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"  
      xmlns:wicket="http://wicket.apache.org/dtds.data/wicket-xhtml1.3-strict.dtd"  
      xml:lang="en"  
      lang="en">  

This is indeed a strange issue.
thanks,
Steve

The strange thing is that so far only I am experiencing this problem (on multiple machines, operating systems etc). Daniel cannot reproduce it with IE8 on Sakai Nightly. Can anyone else please try against http://nightly2.sakaiproject.org:8085/portal if they can reproduce this issue?
