It looks as though the table is starting beneath the left sidebar, which 
sounds like a float drop.  This usually occurs because IE thinks there 
isn't enough room to display both side by side.  Check out this article 
for some of the causes and solutions:

An easy way to test this would be to set the text size to larger, which 
would make the sidebar longer, and see if the table moved down a 
corresponding amount.  But unfortunately you've set text sizes in 
pixels, which means that IE users can't resize them if they need to, 
while everyone else can, giving you a false sense of security and making 
the web site less usable for some IE users.  Especially since this is an 
eyeglasses site, I would think you would be concerned about catering to 
an audience with poor vision. :-)

I suggest not using pixels for sizing text and using percentages 
instead.  This is a sensitive topic, however, so I urge you to read the 
information at the wiki instead of getting into a debate over the merits 
of each option on the list.
