I am working on a project to revamp my website and I have this really cool design idea, or at least I think it is but to do it the way I really want it done I am having trouble with the tables, I don't even know if its possible, take a look I gave an example of what I am trying to do and a pic of what I want to do, I am trying to use colspan and rowspan in the same cell and I don't know if its possible, the test page I am working on is at:<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.marcusandmeagan.com/marcusindex2.html">http://www.marcusandmeagan.com/marcusindex2.html</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
and the finished page that I don't like the way it is coded is at:<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.marcusandmeagan.com">http://www.marcusandmeagan.com</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
And if you really want to know the reason as to why I don't like it the way it is is because I would like to use different backgrounds on the left bar, this design is going to be used on all pages eventually and when you put a background (i.e. clouds) in there they break in bad places and it does not look right so that is why I am trying to redesign my project, thank you for any help.<!--content-->I am not exactley what table layout you want. Busy at work, a hectic night. But here is a quick example of what I think you want to do. This is a 4 by 4 table with the centre 4 cells as one data cell. I.E. The centre cell spans 2 rows and 2 cols.<br />
<br />
<table border="1"><br />
<tr><br />
<td></td><br />
<td></td><br />
<td></td><br />
<td></td><br />
</tr><br />
<tr><br />
<td></td><br />
<td colspan="2" rowspan="2"></td><br />
<td></td><br />
</tr><br />
<tr><br />
<td></td><br />
<td></td><br />
</tr><br />
<tr><br />
<td></td><br />
<td></td><br />
<td></td><br />
<td></td><br />
</tr><br />
</table><br />
<br />
Hope that helps you.<!--content-->
