IE 8 ignoring margins in a div

I am having trouble getting IE8 to recognize the margins, I have a logo I want vertically centered in a header div with a left margin but it seems like it is ignored but displays fine in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Also I have a Login/Signup div that should be in the top right of the header div with some top and right margins but they are being ignored also. I will include the JSFiddle link along with the code in this post. Here is what it looks like in IE enter image description here Here is what it is supposed to look like enter image description here

Here is what I did wrong for people that may experience the same issue I forgot to add the !DOCTYPE A user suggested this and the post was deleted for some reason.

What I left off at beginning of DOC:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
