I'm trying to change the width of the left column at http://74.52.15.34/~klein/. I would like for the column to be 175px, but I can't get it smaller than about 218px. I'm sure it's something small, but I've tried everything I know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<body>
<body class="all">
<div align="center">
<div id="container">

<div id="wrapper">.... One "<body>" is enough.

This:
<div id="left">
<div class="moduletable_menu">
<h3>Main Menu</h3>

<ul class="menu"><li id="current" class="active item1">... is overstate.. You don't really need to containerize everything, because everything is a container already..
You might need the "<div id="left">" if you have a layout that calls for this to be height:100%;, but "<div class="moduletable_menu">" is unnecessay since you can apply whatever 'style' moduletable_menu is, directly to the "<ul>".

(still checking...)
-I'll tell you how un-needed "moduletable_menu" is, -it isn't even listed in your CSS. It can be safely removed.
I'm not finding any "navcontainer" in the CSS either... :confused:

There's really not that much on the HTML page, but there is a lot of CSS. Much of this could be optimized to inherit values, and re-use others. :o
Further complications might come from use of TABLE layout in places where TABLE is not semantically required. Nearly all this could be done using DIVs
