IE not displaying table correctly

[corbeeresearch]

I sort of converted a table-based site into a CSS based site, because I'm more used to CSS unfortunately since the site was not xhtml compliant to begin with, errors started coming. Plus I left some to be table, because it incorporated javascript codes in it. I was avoiding to break the code.

 

There is a tabled list of products and an scrollbar that is built using an image

 

It turns out okay, but on IE, the table is below the scrollbar and the footer disappeared.

 

The code arrangement is

<table>
<tbody><table><table><table>
</tbody></table></table></table>
</table>
<div id="thejavascriptslider">

 

Also, there are spans and divs inside the table

Does anyone know what's wrong with this? Thanks

Looks horrible. Why can't you use divs? What's the JavaScript doing?

Yeah, I know it's horrible, but I'm not the one who built the original site, and somehow I felt that the foundation is not good and didn't wanted to upset it as much as possible, so I was wondering if there is a way for a quick fix instead of removing the table.

 

Is there a quick fix to this thing?

Well it could be for a number of reasons, poor JavaScript, poor CSS. IE just being crappy. Or it could be that it's just really really horrible code, and I'd chuck it out and redo it, better.
