I'm posting this in the hope that it saves somebody the time I lost.
OS: Windows
BROWSER: IE8 (and possibly other IE versions)
WORDPRESS: Version 3.2.X
THEME: TwentyEleven
PROBLEM: IE8 would not show images in a table on a Static Page. The table was set to an exact width that worked in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, but not IE8. This was TABLE, TR, TD style table code that I pasted in by hand.
SOLUTION: Through the process of elimination, I determined that the issue could be fixed by tweaking the TwentyEleven CSS file. I placed the fixed code in the CHILD THEME CSS File
Orignal Code from TwentyEleven styles.css:
.entry-content img,
.comment-content img,
.widget img {
max-width: 97.5%; /* Fluid images for posts, comments, and widgets */
}
Fixed Code placed in child theme styles.css:
.entry-content img {
max-width: none; /* Fluid images for posts, comments, and widgets */
}
