CELL SPANNING

Back ] Up ]

The following work of art is actually a table. Most of the cells SPAN a column or a row. Since we don't actually use COLUMNS in tables, only CELLS, the cells span several CELLS. Other cells span several ROWS. To have one cell occupy the space of two cells in width:

<TD COLSPAN="2">

To have a cell span two cells on adjacent rows:

<TD ROWSPAN="2">
