Add width:500px; to the white div. Tested in IE6.

You can also exchange the table in your code:
<table style="float: right;">
<tbody><tr><td><div style="width: 150px; height: 200px;
background-color: red;">hello world</div></td></tr>
</tbody></table>

for *just* a div, and float the *div* right:
<div style="width: 150px; height: 200px; background-color: red;">hello
world</div>

Test. Export styling. Test again. Etc.

Also recommended (by 4 out of 5 wemasters): add doctype for HTML 4.01
Strict. Coats the stomach and settles upset IE.
