[WSG] Problems with tables and two fixed-width columns

[Vaska . WSG]

I'm having the wost time right now trying to get IE to handle this test 
page.  I have two columns and inside of each column is a table (one of 
which has a width of 100%).  But IE just will not allow both tables to 
align side-by-side.  I have the box model hack in here to control the 
widths of the columns but it's not working...

I'm really at a loss for what to do/try next with this...

Sample page (it's been validated but there are errors with onclicks and 
alt tags which I didn't bother correcting for the moment)...it's also 
quite ugly as I put in some styles so I could visually see what what 
going on...

Oh yeah, I have a textarea in there as well as this is really where 
things began - so I thought I would just try to solve both at the same 
time (but I do believe the textarea issue has been resolved).
