In IE8, I get the follow warning, but if I choose to continue the site displays properly.

  There is a problem with this website's security certificate. 


 The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.  
  We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.  
  Click here to close this webpage.  
  Continue to this website (not recommended).  
     More information

In the WebBrowser control, I get this at first:

  Navigation to the webpage was canceled 

   What you can try: 
     Refresh the page.

When I hit the refresh teh page, this time, I get the same wanting as I originally get in IE8, but when I click "Continue to this website (not recommended)", the page refresh again, displaying the same warning.

What can I do to get the site to display in the WebBrowser control as it does in IE8. I would've thought that the control would be using the same core logic and therefore expected the same result.

JQuery UI sortable is slow in IE8, but works good in IE7 and IE8 compatible mode

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
JQuery UI sortable (including demos) are slow in all IE8 I can test, but runs smoothly in IE7 and IE8 compatible mode. The more complex is a markup on the page, the more IE8 is slowing down (that's I can understand, the DOM tree became more complex). I'm using JQuery 1.3.2 and JQuery UI 1.7.2 (tested… >>> More
