Problem building table

[s1yman]

Hi,

 

Hope you are all well!!

 

I'm having a bit of trouble creating an HTML table with some abnormal formatting.

I've attached a print screen of the kind of thing I want.

 

I'm not asking anyone to format it for me, but if you could offer any advice on a way to do it, it would be greatly appreciated!

 

Many Thanks,

 

-Simon

Why use a table? it would be just as easy and more semantic to use div's.

 

Here is what you're after though...

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>2</td>
        <td rowspan="2">3</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="2">4</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="3">5</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>6</td>
        <td>7</td>
        <td>8</td>
    </tr>
</table>

 

wow that felt dirty, I have not used rowspan for years...

Thanks for your help. Reason I'm using tables is because it's xml code, so that would also explain why the colspan isn't working

CSS works fine with XML.

not this program i am using 

 

it extends the other boxes to match the biggest one. . . software glitch I guess.

 

Thanks for your help - appreciated
