CSS and Browser Compatibility

My web pages work fine on Internet Explorer 8, but changing the compatibility makes the page look completely different.  My menu bar is a big blue box and some users that don't have IE 8 can't see things on the page.

How can I make the CSS compatible for other browsers?

w3schools.com has a very good CSS reference page:

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp

When you click any of the CSS properties, it explains the usage etc. and shows supporting browsers with their icons.

Look at your CSS file, and check all the CSS properties you are using if they are compatible with non-IE browsers.

I've read all through that and still can't figure it out. I have IE8 and

when I click the Compatibility button, my page looks completely different

(the way it looks on others old browsers). I don't see however where I have

used anything that isn't compatible with all browsers.

Any other suggestions?
