Old screen readers, text-to-speech systems and text browsers like Lynx do not support rowspan and colspan. The result can be very confusing for users of these technologies. The result can be very confusing for users of these technologies.
Note, rowspan="2" and colspan="2" can be used on cells to span multiple rows and columns. Header cells are created with ! Header cell, which can be column or row headers. Data cells are created with | Data cell. A new column can be added by adding another cell to the first row.
Note that using rowspan=2 for cell G combined with rowspan=3 for cell F to get another row below G and F won't work, because all (implicit) cells would be empty. Below is the same table with the order of the declared rows and cells shown in parentheses. The uses of rowspan and colspan are also shown.
For columns, one uses |colspan=n | content, whereas for rows, one uses |rowspan=m | content. In the table code, one must leave out the cells that are covered by such a span. The resulting column- and row-counting must fit. Tables can have cells spanning multiple rows, using |rowspan=n. The number of rows must be indicated with each use of rowspan.
This also applies to other coding approaches, such as divs with CSS styling, or rowspan and colspan HTML cell attributes. Nesting data tables with header cells also makes it difficult for assistive readers to parse them sensibly, and should be avoided.
The answer is that when the table has a row without containing any rowspan=1 cell, this row is "compressed" upwards and disappears. Solution: divide one of the tall cells so that the row gets one rowspan=1 cell (and don't mind the eventual loss of text-centering). Then kill the border between them.

! colspan="2" {{vert header|cellstyle=background-color:gold|Your text here}} – produces a header spanning two columns, with a gold background; use no vertical bar after colspan; You can also use the ! {{verth|Your text here}} shorthand.
