CSS is no man's friend. It's an equal-opportunity sob.

Yeah. I didn't recognize them as checkboxes at first.
I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but my #1 secret in
solving these kinds of problems is to get a strictly validating page.
The number of times the problem has turned out to be an unclosed tag
or an instruction the browser wouldn't recognize are legion. Once the
page is fully validated, the browser renders it in a different mode
that the mode it uses when it is not a fully valid page ("quirks
mode"). This makes a whole lot of stuff render differently.

Try dumping the "nowrap" out of the TD tags. That's not valid. And
there's other ways to keep the text from wrapping although you may be
introducing problems for the visually impaired.
