For one thing: that TD isn't any wider than the table inside of it:
<td class="contentRight" width="125">
<table align="right" border="0" width="125" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0">
You set them both to 125 wide. Making the table align right or left
isn't gonna do anything ever.
If you narrow your window, you'll see that at some point, the column
fits where you want it, only to notice it dropping down when you
narrow the window even more.
The problem is not with the table that holds the shopping cart column,
but with the construction of the table around it.
I suggest you also check the validator, so you can find the errors
like more than one <body> element, <tr> elements where they shouldn't
be, and superfluous end tags of <table> elements.
Some of these superfluous end tags, may be caused by incorrectly
nested forms. You can't put a form element tag between <table> and
<tr> or between <tr> and <td>.
Good chance that once you cleaned up the code, the problems will
disappear too.
