'colspan' define the number of cells in a <table> row that are merged. 'rowspan' do same for many cells in a <table> column... Cells merged don't have to be define in <table> tree: if you 'colspan' a cell, the count of <td>s elements in the shared parent <td> must be adapted consequently... ( for a 4 columns table, if you define one <td> with colspan value 2, you will have 3 instead 4 <td> at all in the parent <tr> )
