1.2.6 seems to have broken my HTML columns workaround for presentation page

When my company’s site was designed, we used HTML to create columns on the home page. Since upgrading to Nirvana 1.2.6, Internet Explorer does not display the presentation page correctly. The left column, which is supposed to take up 66% of the available width gets squished over to the side.

It’s not a problem in Chrome and Safari. I would rather not make major changes to the site to accommodate IE. Is there a quick fix?

Site is at dawncil.org. Here is the code we are putting in Text Area 1 on the presentation page:
