float only works on block display elements, whereas table cells display as table-cell by default. Table cells will naturally appear in a row without needing float.
However, what you're doing is forcing float, such that the table cells implicitly become block display elements and lose their table display properties (meaning they return within rows, no longer share heights across rows, etc — to all intents and purposes the table layout is broken). I'm sure what you're trying to do can be done, but "float the tables td's into place" is vague, in that we don't know what the intent of 'into place' is.
