You want the width to be that? Then just make the width="whatever". You
probably have an empty space in the table that is forcing it open.

Of course, you could just use a DIV or a SPAN to get the same result...which
may be easier for you + less markup.

Have you tried to remove the "non-breaking space" that Dreamweaver automatically adds to every table cell?

Naahhh - don't make an empty cell. Use a transparent GIF that has the
dimensions you need in those cells.

Insert a transparent image, set the size(X,Y) and set the background
colour in the PI.

I used to create (not different tables) but columns that appeared as if they were vertical lines.

I would set the column width to, say, 2px, set bgcolor to, say, green. Rowspan the cells. Now I have a vertical green line separating two columns. My guess is that when you are working with the whole table the same rules apply. Make sure that cellspacing and cellpadding are set to 0. Those attributes add interior space to a table/cell. Also check to see if you have any CSS or other property defined for the table that may add interior space such as margin, etc.

If you cannot use the GUI editing screen to "get inside" the table, try editing the HTML directly:

TABLE width=5 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0

You should include one TR /TR (row) and one TD /TD (col/cell) to define anything, even a blank table.
