Table Question - Tech Support Forums

Hey guys, working on a 2x2 table, and the last column I want to put only 1 row in it and have the text expand over the entire row.

Ok, that sounded confusing to myself, going to try to explain it out, the text to do this has slipped my mind atm.

Ok, so I have a 2x2 table. In the last column I want the text to expand over the two rows.

The rowspan attribute is the one for this job, it goes in the <th> tag.

I've never used it before, but here's a helpful tutorial for you.

EDIT: I was assuming you meant html, if it's excel, there's the merge and center button.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>whatever</title>
<body>
<table border="1">
	<tr>
		<td>Hello</td>
		<td rowspan="2"><center> Hello </center></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><center> Hello </center></td>
	</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Yeah, sorry HTML. Thanks guys, one more thing.

I'm doing an form, and there's two problems.

1. Won't go through unless Outlook is installed and working on your PC.

2. It will not be recieved by the email I put in for the "mail to".

Heck, I'll just link the site. It's for a class project, I'm doing this all by hand coding unlike everyone else who is using some sort of editor.

is *removed* your email? because thats what the form is tryign to send to. Perhaps its not parsing the period correctly?

If you want it to work without using a mail client on the person machine, you'll need to have a script that sends the mail through the server. Generally either CGI/perl or PHP.

Yeah, that's my email. Ok, thanks VH.
