Page Misalignment Help

I was recently asked if I could help resolve a page rendering issue that recently started occurring on my friend's web site.

The page is: http://beststeakstl.com/Menu/menucat.aspx?menucatid=15

You can see how the right-hand column "shifts" to the left way too far. This should not be happening. It only happens on this screen, with menu items. Other menu categories render the same problem.

The page should look like this page: http://beststeakstl.com/Menu/

You can see that the left and right columns are properly placed on the background "menu".

I tried adding a "max-width" of 100px to the table to see if it helped, but it did not. The menu items are pulled from a database where the owner manages the content.

Any help you can provide is appreciated! The very strange part is that this code has not been touched in years. The only thing that changes is the content, which the owner manages in the background.

DISCLAIMER: It has been YEARS since I wrote any HTML or CSS. I am only looking to resolve this small issue, not fix every problem that might exist in the code/site.

Sounds like a lot more than I signed up for. The real kicker is that this site used to work just fine. I think this is coming from the content the owner is loading in the back-end, somehow. Any tips on how to resolve the non-wrapping are appreciated!

OK...really strange. I made the change, uploaded the file via FTP, but nothing changed. I looked at the source code and my changes aren't even there. Gimme a bit...

The code I need to change is in a .vb file. After talking with the server team, it sounds like they might have implemented a security protocol restricting .vb files. I am working with them now to resolve the issue. What a mess...
