Rowspan and colspan are attributes of the TD element. Rowspan determines the number of rows that a cell will "span" or spread across while colspan controls the number of columns. The number of cells in a row or column must be uniform throughout the table whether as a spanned number or actual cells. The "normal" table below has four columns and three rows... Colspan=1, Rowspan=1 Colspan=1, Rowspan=1 Colspan=1, Rowspan=1 Colspan=1, Rowspan=1 Colspan=1, Rowspan=1 Colspan=1, Rowspan=1 Colspan=1, Rowspan=1 Colspan=1, Rowspan=1 Colspan=1, Rowspan=1 Colspan=1, Rowspan=1 Colspan=1, Rowspan=1 Colspan=1, Rowspan=1 Note that you do not have to actually use the colspan and rowspan attributes to state the value if it only spans one cell, it is an intrinsic value. The markup below shows how this table was made: Code: <table width="500" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"        align="center">  <tbody>   <tr>    <td width="25%" align="center">Colspan=1, Rowspan=1</td>    <td width="25%" align="center">Colspan=1, Rowspan=1</td>    <td width="25%" align="center">Colspan=1, Rowspan=1</td>    <td width="25%" align="center">Colspan=1, Rowspan=1</td>   </tr>   <tr>    <td align="center">Colspan=1, Rowspan=1</td>    <td align="center">Colspan=1, Rowspan=1</td>    <td align="center">Colspan=1, Rowspan=1</td>    <td align="center">Colspan=1, Rowspan=1</td>   </tr>   <tr>    <td align="center">Colspan=1, Rowspan=1</td>    <td align="center">Colspan=1, Rowspan=1</td>    <td align="center">Colspan=1, Rowspan=1</td>    <td align="center">Colspan=1, Rowspan=1</td>   </tr>  </tbody> </table>
