HTML Table – Colspan
To make a cell span over multiple columns, use the colspan attribute:
Example
<table>
<tr>
<th colspan=”2″>Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>43</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>57</td>
</tr>
</table>
Note: The value of the colspan attribute represents the number of columns to span.
HTML Table – Rowspan
To make a cell span over multiple rows, use the rowspan attribute:
Example
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<td>Jill</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th rowspan=”2″>Phone</th>
<td>555-1234</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>555-8745</td>
</tr>
</table>
Note: The value of the rowspan attribute represents the number of rows to span.
