According to statistics, this is not your first post here. But anyway, welcome.

At the bottom I noticed you have a row with very large "colspan" - 29 in total but I fail to count that many at other rows. Are you sure that is correctly computed? If columns are not counted accurately your table-based layout may mess-up, and that is sort of expected

Oh by the way, you should specify 'px' explicitly in CSS style properties. Otherwise that is incorrect by standard and may be rejected by some browsers as invalid (that may cause the entire style declaration to be skipped if done the strict way).

I recommend you also enclose the attribute values in quotes in HTML. While for plain HTML it is not necessary, you should try to do this to move closer to XHTML, that by XML specification requires all attribute values enclosed.

I'm not on a Windows computer so I cannot confirm what your page looks like on IE. My recommendation is, first fix your HTML and CSS so that they are all valid first, then cater for cross-browser rendering issues. That way it would be easier to fix specific issues. IE in particular does not have great debugging support builtin, so it is particularly difficult to spot coding issues.

NAME

       xhtml2pdf - PDF generator using HTML and CSS

SYNOPSIS

       xhtml2pdf [-b base path] [--base=base path] [-c CSS file] [--css=CSS file] [--css-dump] [-d] [--debug] [--encoding=character encoding] [-h]
		 [--help] [-q] [--quiet] [--version] [-w] [--warn] [-x] [--xml] [--xhtml] [--html] [SRC] [DEST]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the xhtml2pdf command.

       xhtml2pdf is an HTML-to-PDF converter using the ReportLab Toolkit, HTML5lib and pyPdf.

       It supports HTML 5 and CSS 2.1 (and some of CSS 3). It is completely written in pure Python so it is platform independent. The main benefit
       of this tool that a user with Web skills like HTML and CSS is able to generate PDF templates very quickly without learning new
       technologies. Easy integration into Python frameworks like CherryPy, KID Templating, TurboGears, Django, Zope, Plone, Google AppEngine
       (GAE) etc.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       SRC
	   Name of a HTML file or a file pattern using * placeholder. If you want to read from stdin use - as file name. You may also load an URL
	   over HTTP. Take care of putting the src in quotes if it contains characters like ?.

       DEST
	   Name of the generated PDF file or - if you like to send the result to stdout. Take care that the destination file is not already opened
	   by an other application like the Adobe Reader. If the destination is not writeable a similar name will be calculated automatically.

       -b, --base
	   Specify a base path if input comes via STDIN.

       -c, --css
	   Path to default CSS file

       --css-dump
	   Dumps the default CSS definitions to STDOUT.

       -d, --debug
	   Show debugging information.

       --encoding
	   The character encoding of SRC. If left empty (default) this information will be extracted from the HTML header data.

       -h, --help
	   Show the help text.

       -q, --quiet
	   Show no messages.

       --version
	   Show version information.

       -w, --warn

       -x, --xml, --xhtml
	   Force parsing in XML mode (automatically used if SRC ends with .xml).
