Re: HTML5 Validator doesn't appear to understand colspan

Hello,

I have tried to follow the logic of the reply to this problem but I'm still
stumped.

<table>

    <tr class="main_table_header"><th colspan="4">Personal
Information</th></tr>

            <tr class="lower_table_header">
            <th colspan="1">Full name</th><td colspan="3">Steven
Delahunty</td></tr>
            <tr class="lower_table_header">
            <th colspan="1">Date of birth</th><td colspan="3">Ages
ago</td></tr>
            <tr class="lower_table_header">
            <th colspan="1">Place of birth</th><td colspan="3">Southport,
Merseyside, England</td></tr>
            <tr class="lower_table_header">
            <th colspan="1">Height</th><td colspan="3">1.75 m (5 ft 9 ( and
&frac34;) in)</td></tr>
            <tr class="lower_table_header">
            <th colspan="1">Playing position</th><td
colspan="3">Anywhere</td></tr>

</table>

is the code I've used and I'm receiving the following error;

[image: Error] *Line 3, Column 47*: Table columns in range 3…4 established
by element th have no cells beginning in them.

	<tr class="main_table_header"><th colspan="4"*>*Personal Information</th></tr>

Please help! Coursework deadline next Monday!
