Colspan & Rowspan (Lab 3, Part 1, Question 1, 3)

The attributes 'colspan' and 'rowspan' in HTML are used to merge a column or row of a table together.

Example: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<title> colspan & rowspan exmaple </title>

</head>

<body>

<table border="1" width="100%">
        <tr>
                <td colspan="2">Row 1, cell 1</td>
                <td>Row 1, cell 2</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
                <td>Row 2, cell 1</td>
                <td>Row 2, cell 2</td>
                <td>Row 2, cell 3</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
                <td>Row 3, cell 1</td>
                <td rowspan="2">Row 3, cell 2</td>
                <td>Row 3, cell 3</td>
     
</table>

</body>
</html>

In general, I found coding with tables a bit difficult at the start. Positioning was hard and so was making the table the right dimensions you want. But, after a bit practice a few hours, I feel more confident using them. I think I will stick to <div>'s though.
