Now get rid of all that stuff, bring back Tom and Rick and we'll dive into rowspan.
<table border="3"> <tr> <td>Ed</td> <td>Tom</td> <td>Rick</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Larry</td> <td>Curly</td> <td>Moe</td> </tr> </table>
| Ed | Tom | Rick |
| Larry | Curly | Moe |
As you may have guessed, rowspan is just like colspan cept y'all span rows instead of columns. (Not exactly brain surgery... is it?)
If we remove Larry and let Ed take over his cell, this is the result.
<table border="3">
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">Ed</td>
<td>Tom</td>
<td>Rick</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Curly</td>
<td>Moe</td>
</tr>
</table>
| Ed | Tom | Rick |
| Curly | Moe |
And of course, these attributes can also be used in combination.
<table border="3"> <tr> <td rowspan="2">Ed</td> <td colspan="2">Tom</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Curly</td> <td>Moe</td> </tr> </table>
| Ed | Tom | |
| Curly | Moe | |
Just be careful though... too many rowspans and colspans cris-crossing all over the place and you're going to have one confusing mess of a table to sort out. Remember KISS... Keep It Simple Stupid.
