how to join two fields of a table

a simple case - no doubt, but i am in no way able to make the bottom two fields one.

other than replace them with another embedded table, but it is not elegant.

please help

Code:

<table">

  <tr>

    <td>&nbsp;</td>

    <td>&nbsp;</td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td>&nbsp;</td>

    <td>&nbsp;</td>

  </tr>

</table>

You can use the colspan attribute on ONE of the <td> elements, like so:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 

    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head> 

<title>Title here</title> 

<style type="text/css">



table {border: 1px solid black;}



td {border: 1px solid black;}



</style>



</head> 

<body>





<table>

  <tr>

    <td>a</td>

    <td>b</td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td colspan="2">c d</td>

  </tr>

</table>



</body> 

</html>
