Another question is what are you using for power? The 7408 is only designed for 5 volts on Vcc. If you connected a higher voltage, you've likely damaged the chip.

Also, what are you using to drive the inputs?

You need to have ALL inputs connected to either supply voltage or ground or output of another gate. Without that the inputs will act like antenna and will have any value.

You connect them to either ground of supply voltage. You can also connect them through a resistor to ground, for example 10k.
