Using Browser and Document mode settings correctly

I have a wordpress site with ie html5.

Its fine in IE9,7 FF, Ch, Op and Saf. However, IE8 might be giving problems on one page http://www.haywardsdrycleaners.com/services/

I say might because I am confused about how to test it with IE 9. If I set the "Browser mode" to IE8 then as the page refreshes the document mode stays on "IE 9 standards (page default)". Like this everything displays perfectly. However, if I leave Browser Mode on IE8 and click Document mode to IE8 the layout goes wrong.

My question is if I had the "Real" IE8 installed then would the page be ok or not! I do realise that this mode is only an approx as per Browser mode and document mode in IE9

Thanks

E

I just went to that page in the real Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 and the layout is, indeed, messed up. You can test it yourself for free using an official virtual machine:

The virtual machine even works in VirtualBox.
