Sorry to poke a little fun here but your boned. As I said you can see
why web developers complain about IE. Much easier writing for a modern
browser. Bad news even when MS gets around to releasing a "modern"
browser it is still going to be "old at heart" and not much better

Yeah, I here yah. Damn Intranet applications that require all that
insecurity to allow direct access to the client's OS to function! We
since you are stuck with the MS anchor for your life-preserver why not
generate the table as an Excel spreadsheet and be done with it! There
are even Pear packages for doing this and I am sure MS as some ActiveX
doohickey and bypass IE CSS shortcomings all together.
