John,

Looks like the *data* in the drop down menu under

"Scelga Il Metodo Di Consegna"

in particular this one:-

"il giorno seguente consegna speciale Regno Unito, 150 a 300g -
consegna speciale Regno Unito di giorno di", 6.95"

Whatever one of those is, it causes the drop down menu width to
override whetever you tell the table width to do.

Make those strings shorter, and the webpage shrinks accordingly.
Alternatively, use radio buttons and then you get to play with
font sizes and constrain the text within table cells. World,
mollusc, etc.

Dunno why I'm answering this, I'm a security expert. Allegedly.

Cheers,

--Chris
