Have you tried adding the site to the compatibility view settings.
With the table page open, hit the "Alt" key on your keyboard to bring up the menu bar. Under tools, click compatibility view settings the page should be already in the box next to the add button just click add and close and refresh the page see if that helps.

When I receive a table of numbers from Fidelity Investments sometimes the numbers are negative. I would like to have these numbers, be they $ or % figures, appear in red so they stand out. I want -$400.00 to show as red text. This works fine when I receive the tables using FireFox but not in the Internet Explorer browser.
