Vitus: tables "explode" in IE

Hey folks,

i have a problem when i develop a mombo template. it's not really a mambo-problem but more a internet explorer problem or better speaking a problem with my table definition. maybe some of you had a similar problem and can help me.
somehow the table holding my images for the template "explode"
the weird thing is that firefox shows it perfextly correct.
I saw that a few people here have a similar problem but i couldn't find a solution

it would be really great if someone could help me.

thanks,
vitus

firefox:
