title: Table responsiveness in IE
body: <p>So. I am creating a small site to test my capabilities.
  In my site i have a page that in Firefox looks like this:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xlGUu.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>The additional files and additional actions buttons are inside a table. and each button is inside a <code>&lt;td&gt;</code> which are set to appear one under another with CSS using <code>display:block;</code> on the <code>&lt;td&gt;</code> element. </p>
  
  <p>The problem is that when i open the page in IE9 or lower the td's are shown inline like this:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NWXod.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>Because of this the responsiveness of the page is broken and resizing the viewport will move the page content below the left menu...</p>
  
  <p>Here is the HTML of the tables:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;table class="buttons"&gt;
      &lt;tbody&gt;
         &lt;tr&gt;
            &lt;th colspan="2"&gt;Additional files:&lt;/th&gt;
         &lt;/tr&gt;
         &lt;tr&gt;
            &lt;td&gt;
               &lt;a id="cv" href=""&gt;Curriculum Vitae&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;td&gt;
               &lt;a id="cover" href=""&gt;Cover Letter&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/td&gt;
         &lt;/tr&gt;
      &lt;/tbody&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
  &lt;table class="buttons"&gt;        
      &lt;tbody&gt;
         &lt;tr&gt;
            &lt;th colspan="3"&gt;Additional actions:&lt;/th&gt;
         &lt;/tr&gt;
         &lt;tr&gt;
            &lt;td&gt;
               &lt;a class="approve" href=""&gt;Denie&lt;/a&gt;
               &lt;span style="display: none;"&gt;31&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;td&gt;
               &lt;a href="" class="mailto"&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;td&gt;
               &lt;a href="" class="link-fain delete-app"&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/td&gt;
         &lt;/tr&gt;
      &lt;/tbody&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this is the CSS:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.buttons {
      float: left;
      margin: 20px auto 0;
      width: 50%;
  }
  .buttons td {
      display: block;
      width: 100%;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone suggest me a solution?
  Thank you in advance!</p>
