Colspan and Rowspan are two important attributes of TD and TH tags used in HTML tables.
Colspan is an attribute of TD or TH tags used to make data cells and header cells in an HTML table. We can use Colspan to expand / span a cell on many columns. For example, in the following table, the first header cell spans two columns, so here we use <th colspan="2">Marks</th> to get the required result in the displayed html table.
The complete HTML coding is as follows:
<table border="1">
<tr> <th colspan="2">Marks</th> </tr>
<tr> <th>Maths</th><th>Computer</th></tr>
<tr> <td>100</td><td>87</td> </tr>
</table>
The complete HTML coding of the table is as follows:
<table border="1">
