It doesn't work because the html isn't valid. You left out the <td></td> tags which are required for placing content in tables. The real problem is that IE "forgives" such omissions when it shouldn't.

If it didn't work in IE too, you'd know to check your html instead of being sent off on a wild goose chase. Simple mistakes will happen but IE is too forgiving.
