Extends a cell beyond its normal one row. For example, rowspan="2" specifies the cell should span two rows. colspan Extends a cell beyond its normal one column. For example, colspan="2" specifies the cell should span two columns. scope
It is possible to create tables with cells that stretch over two or more columns or rows (also known as merged cells). 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.
If you use tables for two-dimensional graphics you might discover a "feature" in HTML that promotes grey hair. It can affect both rows and columns, depending on the use of either rowspan or colspan. In this 7-row table three cells are assigned a rowspan of 3, but the table totals 6 rows. Where is row 4? There is a row 5-4!
A table cell is one grouping within a chart table used for storing information or data. Cells are grouped horizontally (rows of cells) and vertically (columns of cells). Each cell contains information relating to the combination of the row and column headings it is collinear with.
The table's horizontal scroll doesn't work with this template, so wide tables span outside of the main content area making the entire page wider and requiring you to instead horizontally scroll the entire page. Zooming out to see the entire table makes the headers sticky, but also makes the text smaller and less readable the wider the table is.
Column numbers up to col29 are supported. A table can have more columns but they cannot be aligned with this method. On tables using rowspan or colspan, using the classes may not work well on those rows because the alignment appears in wrong cells.
Example: If merging non-similar cells is essential, while not ideal, a work-around is to create a hidden column. This column can be given an appropriate heading name, that will not appear to sighted readers but will be recognized and read by screen readers. The following example is a snippet of a table from List of chronometers on HMS Beagle.
The static-row-header class disables the number and border between other rows that use this class consecutively, simulating a rowspan (see Help:Table#Colspan and rowspan). It should be added to: It should be added to:
