table moves in IE and not in FF

Hi,

on this page: http://www.baekelandfonds.be/index.php the text and picture on
the right hand side are shown like they should in FF, i.e. next to the menu.

However, if i open the same page in IE the block with the text and image
gets positioned under the menu, which isn't intended.

I suspect it has something to do with the table the image and text is placed
in, however, since the site is built with a cms i can't drop the tables
however much i'd like that.

Any ideas on how i can solve this?

Thx in advance!

Regards,

Thomas

By setting the width on that table to something that fits in the
allotted space :-)

table.contentpaneopen {
width: 465px;
color: #696969;
}
table.contentpaneopen td {
width: 465px;
}

That's just too wide. IMO you don't need to set a width at all, the
content will stretch it as far as needed.
