Gaps between divs tags in IE8

Question

I designed a custom Facebook welcome page in DW and transfered it to FB.  According to BrowserLabs, it looks fantastic on every browser and platform except IE8, which shows horizontal gaps between each div.  I have tried and tried and can not find a solution.  Thank you so much for your help.

Here is the entirety of the code:
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper {
    margin: 0px auto;
    padding: 0px;
    width: 520px;
    height: 703px;
.like-us {
    height: 112px;
.quote {
    height: 112px;
    width: 157px;
    float: left;
a img {border:none;}
.bot-nav {
.below-like {
    height: 55px;
.clearfloat {
margin: 0px;
clear: both;
height: 0px;
}.web-design {
    height: 171px;
.below-web {
    height: 57px;
.logo-design {
    height: 211px;
.below-logo {
    height: 43px;
.nav {
    background-color: #050c0f;

Your construct is really "weird", try this:
#nav,#content,#bottom{float:none}
img{vertical-align:bottom}
If that fixes your problem, then you can simply *remove* the
float
declarations from your sheet.
As a side note, you should try to keep things as simple as
possible. I'm
sure you can safely remove "position:relative" from many
rules. Also, there
is no need to set a width on DIVs that are not floats (their
natural
behavior is to fill the the parent container).
