Well, in theory:
<TABLE BORDER=1 width=100%>
<COL width="16.5%">
<COL width="16.5%">
<COL width="17%">
<COL width="17%">
<COL width="16.5%">
<COL width="16.5%">
<TR>
<TD COLSPAN="6">blah blah blah</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD colspan=3>blah</td>
<TD colspan=3>blah</td>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD colspan=2>blah</TD>
<TD colspan=2>blah</TD>
<TD colspan=2>blah</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

However, this doesn't quite seem to balance correctly.  In Internet Explorer
5.0+, you can put 'style="table-layout: fixed"' on the TABLE, and then it
looks great.

Subject: colspan doubt


Hi:

I'm working with tables, and have a problem
How do I make this work??
This is the example:

<TABLE BORDER=0 width=100%>
<TR>
<TD COLSPAN="3">
blah blah blah
</TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD width=50% colspan=????>blah</td>
<TD width=50% colspan=????>blah</td>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD width=33%></TD>
<TD width=33%></TD>
<TD width=33%></TD>
</TR>

</TABLE>

Thanks a LOT.

- Gabriel.
