Line too wide

I have a column set to 1px and I want it to display at 1px wide, but it
always displays wider. Here is the URL:
http://www.tased.edu.au/tasonline/tec/new/servact/index.html

The offending column is the brown column to the right of the left nav bar. I
have set the right column (the white one ) to 100%, so this should collapse
the left column down to a minimum, right?

As you can see, I have managed to make rows on other tables 1px deep, e.g.
below the title bar and above the bottom bar, but for some reason this
process doesn't seem to work for me with columns.

Thanks for reading, and for any help you can give.

That column has   non-breaking spaces in almost every cell. the
non-breaking space takes up one character at the default font size, so you
can't make it smaller. Dreamweaver inserts the non-breaking spaces when the
cell is empty- and it removes them when you add any content to a cell.

to fix- click in one of those cells.
Now, to get things so you can see them and click into them- on the Quick Tag
Selector at bottom margin of design view- click on the rightmost <table>
tag.
In property inspector- set cellpadding and cellspacing to 10 for now.

yes- the whole thing blows apart- but this is temporary.

Now- find one of the brown spacers <img src="../images/spbl.gif" alt=""
width="1" height="1">, click on it and copy.
Now click into each of the cells in that column, and paste. Set the size of
the spacer to 1x1 in the property inspector.

Now, click on the rightmost <table> tag and reset the cellpadding and
cellspacing to 0.

That column should now show in browser as 1 pixel wide.

Alternative fix-
Click into the top cell of that column.
Then click on the rightmost <td> in Quick tag selector.
Then, shift-click in each of the other cells of that column.
Then, click the Merge button in property inspector.
Now insert the spacer into the one cell.

Or-- the very quick way to fix-
Find in source, that page: <td background="../images/spbl.gif">&nbsp;</td>

Replace: <td background="../images/spbl.gif"><img src="../images/spbl.gif"
alt="" width="1" height="1"></td>
