The text displayed is overlapped by the picture. May be an offset issue.

I think that this occurs because the table halfway down the page extends the
column beyond its specified width. The table contains text that Mozilla doesn't
wrap, while IE wraps it at the hyphen ("CHINA-mainland" and "Employment-Based").
This causes the table to be wider than its container and thus the container
(<tr>) is widened.

So you have something like:

<tr style="width: 390">
<table (that contains text that makes it larger than 390px)>
</table>
</tr>

I don't know what the correct behavior in this situation is.
Apparently the fact that IE wraps the text is incorrect. Soft hyphens would need
to be used to specify that text can be wrapped at that location.
