Stupid Table Displays Incorrectly In IE, IE Sucks Options

[vsaxena]

So I have this table that looks perty AF in Chrome and Firefox, but displays horrendously in IE. I ignored the issue until today, when I discovered to my dismay that approximately 55% of my website visitors utilize IE. What a pity.

Anyway. Any assistance you could provide would be most appreciated. I've attached the code, as well as the corresponding CSS.

Dunca Schon!

table.unique-table {
text-align:left !important;

The CSS selector table.unique-table doesn't match the table's class name, which uses an underscore in place of a hyphen.

Use the validator (see links on this page) to find any errors and then fix them.

Also, the table is a simple three rows - three columns grid. Yet, you use colspans that presume there are five columns.

(BTW, I don't have easy access to IE.)
