span is an element and colspan is an attribute.. span example: <h1>Hello this is example of <span> span element </span> now in above example, u see that span is inserted within h1 tag.. span is an inline element.. now I can add separate styling to span element it is similar to div but it is inline element, therefore it is just a container with inline properties and Colspan it is a table element attribute <table> <tr> <th>Column 1 heading</th> <th>Column 2 heading</th> <th>Column 3 heading</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Row 2, cell 1</td> <td colspan="2">Row 2, cell 2, also spanning Row 2, cell 3</td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="2">Row 3, cell 1, also spanning Row 4, cell 1</td> <td>Row 3, cell 2</td> <td>Row 3, cell 3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Row 4, cell 2</td> <td>Row 4, cell 3</td> </tr> </table> here Colspan with value two, which means that table data width will take up the two fields space in column wise.. and rowspan does the same but in row wise

<span> is an inline element for grouping atuff. Colspan is an attribute for table cells, <td>, specifying how wide they are
