Any new issues to watch out for when developing websites for Internet Explorer 8 users?
I'm looking for things like javascript/ajax issues, and changes in the handling of CSS

Estelle Weyl provides decent coverage of some of the CSS (and a few JS) issues she's noted with IE8:
IE8 - What you need to know and CSS browser support chart.
Microsoft's Developer Information Index for Internet Explorer can be useful and it provides some coverage of Ajax, CSS, etc. Also, Microsoft's CSS Compatibility and Internet Explorer charts CSS browser support for IE 5 - IE 8.

Periodically during the process of site development go to http://validator.w3.org/ and run the pages through the validator. They stay up to date on what works. They ARE the Internet.
Make sure you have:
< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
In your head, otherwise IE goes into 'Unstable Mode' when displaying your site, and some of your functionality and design won't work properly. It's a crummy feature in IE and Firefox, Google Chrome etc. ignore it.
