Max-Width not working in IE7

[gibsonguitar]

Hello
I have a table that is inside of a DIV tag (called Content). The Content DIV has a set width of 550px.

For some reason the table is exceeding the 550px limit and is bleeding into the DIV next to it.

I have tried setting a Max-Width of 500px to the TD tag of the table but for some reason IE7 (or any IE for that matter) wont recognize it. This works in Firefox and Safari.

Thanks

I also tried setting a Max-Width in the TABLE tag and TR tag. Neither worked.
