Tables
Part12
When working with tables you will need sometimes to merge cells. Cells merging is accomplished by the use of colspan and rowspan attributes associated with the <td> tag.
Syntax is
<td colspan="n"> text</td>
Where n is the number of column to span
<td rowspan="n">text</td>
Where n is the number of rowa to span
<td colspan="n" rowspan="n">text</td>
A combination of colspan and rowspan can also be obtained
Example
<html>
<head>
<title>Table with merged cells</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 align="center">Table with merged cells</h1>
<p> This is a table with merged cells.
