I used the validators at http://www.w3.org/ and neither the html nor the
style designation in your document head validated. Also, you specify 10 px
and 125 px for the first and second columns respectively. As I view it in
MSIE, they seem closer to a 1:2 ration than 1:12. So MSIE isnt reading your
style sheet "correctly" either.

There's a lot I dont know about this stuff, but shouldnt you make it
validate first and then worry about how browsers see it?
