Norman,

100% is a tricky width for IE.  It does it's best to calculate 100% of the
table width based on previous rows and then assign that one cell that width.
You may notice that the total width of the content of the first row is about
770.  The width of the content area is going to be stretched to at least
770.

Bad browser?  Maybe--but it's just doing what you asked.

Try using a fixed width for the content column instead of 100%.

Or, better yet, give a tableless design a try.

Best of luck,
