Text Wrapping differences in IE7, IE8, and FF

Question

When I have this <table> below, the text wraps as needed in FF and IE8, but when I run this in compatibility mode or IE7 the text does not wrap and the width of the previous is basically ignored. Any way to get around this? Here is a simplified example.

<table>
   <tr>
      <td style="width:125px">
      hi
      </td>
      <td>bye</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>
      line of text that will equal more than the above width
      </td>
     <td>bye</td>
   </tr>
</table>

      <td style="width:125px">
      hi

      <td>bye</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td  style="width:125px">
      line of text that will equal more than the above width
      </td>
     <td>bye</td>
   </tr>
