Why does Internet Explorer break each word in my popups?

My blog has popups and only IE breaks the words开发者_开发技巧 inside them. Why is it doing this?

Your construction of the table node for the words is not valid. You should have <tr> and <td> elements within your table.

<table class="popup-contents"> 
    <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/abby/set?id=26056923">
     <center>
         <img id="photo" src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ldm76urVRn1qboy47o1_400.jpg" alt="Simple with great, stand alone pieces." />
     </center>
    </a>
    <div class="caption"><p>Simple with great, stand alone pieces.</p></div>
