I've been struggling for over an hour to create a HTML table. I can't understand why it doesn't work or how I should combine the rowspans, colspans. If you could help me, I would be more than grateful to you:
I tried the following, all failed, some broke my previous templates as well:
td {
border: 2px solid;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="5"></td>
<td rowspan="5"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3"></td>
<td rowspan="3"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3"></td>
<td rowspan="3"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
Please, help me.
Try with the following:
table { border-collapse: collapse; }
td {
border: 2px solid black;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">A</td>
<td rowspan="2">A</td>
<td>B</td>
<td>B</td>
<td>C</td>
<td>C</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A</td>
<td>B</td>
<td>C</td>
<td>C</td>
</tr>
</table>
I'm not sure why you used rowspans of 5 and 3 but the way it works is
you specify a rowspan or colspan and that fills in the grid of cells
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="5">a</td>
<td rowspan="5">b</td>
<td rowspan="3">c</td>
<td rowspan="3">d</td>
<td rowspan="3">e</td>
</tr>
Means we have 5 columns and 5 rows (so far)
+-+-+-+-+-+
|X|X|X|X|X| row 1
+-+-+-+-+-+
|X|X|X|X|X| row 2
+-+-+-+-+-+
|X|X|X|X|X| row 3
+-+-+-+-+-+
|X|X| | | | row 4
+-+-+-+-+-+
|X|X| | | | row 5
+-+-+-+-+-+
rows 2 and 3 need no cells (no <td>s) because they are already specified by the first row.
row 4 needs 3 <td> for the 3 unused cells
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">g</td>
<td rowspan="2">h</td>
<td rowspan="2">i</td>
</tr>
The grid is now full
+-+-+-+-+-+
|X|X|X|X|X| row 1
+-+-+-+-+-+
|X|X|X|X|X| row 2
+-+-+-+-+-+
|X|X|X|X|X| row 3
+-+-+-+-+-+
|X|X|X|X|X| row 4
+-+-+-+-+-+
|X|X|X|X|X| row 5
+-+-+-+-+-+
so row 5 needs no cells (no <td>s)
table { border-collapse: collapse; }
td {
border: 2px solid;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="5">a</td>
<td rowspan="5">b</td>
<td rowspan="3">c</td>
<td rowspan="3">d</td>
<td rowspan="3">e</td>
</tr>
<tr></tr>
<tr></tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">g</td>
<td rowspan="2">h</td>
<td rowspan="2">i</td>
</tr>
<tr></tr>
</table>
This should look very closely to what you want to achieve. Important parts are border-collapse, rowspan, width of td, width of border, using class. This is one of many ways to do it.
td {
border: 4px solid;
height: 100px;
width: 50px;
}
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
.larger-width{
width: 75px;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan='2' class="larger-width"></td>
<td rowspan='2' class="larger-width"></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td class="larger-width"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
[![<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

I want to create a table as given. I have written the code for the first two columns but the output is incorrect. Need help figuring out my mistakes.
Ignore the little imperfections of the image of the table given in the question. They are not part of the output I desire.
Question-
My attempt for first two columns-
<table border="1" width="50%" height="50%">
<tr>
<td rowspan="6"></td>
<td rowspan="3"></td>
<td rowspan="1"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="0" colspan="0"></td>
<td rowspan="3"></td>
<td rowspan="1"></td>
</tr>
</table>
Output-
What am I missing here?
I believe that this is what you're after:
table, td {
border: 1px solid #999;
}
table {
width: 100%;
}
td {
height: 50px;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="4"></td>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
Table with 3 rows. the first row span 1.5 column each
I am 2 months into learning html and i came across a task where i have no idea of where to start from. I want to implement a html table with 3 rows, the first row however should have two equal parts of columns and the other two to have 3 equal parts. Please help.
Here is a rough code for it:
<table>
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>two</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>three</td>
<td>four</td>
<td> five</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>six</td>
<td>seven</td>
<td> eight</td>
</tr>
</table>
You can use colspan. The colspan attribute defines the number of columns a table cell should span.
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan='3'>one </td>
<td colspan='3'> two </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan='2'>three</td>
<td colspan='2'>four</td>
<td colspan='2'> five</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan='2'>six</td>
<td colspan='2'>seven</td>
<td colspan='2'> eight</td>
</tr>
</table>
I have a simple question :
we usually use
<table>
<tr>
<td> stuff1 </td>
<td> stuff2 </td>
<tr>
...
</table>
Therefore i can have on line with 3 columns and another with 4 columns. But I would like to do the contrary : on column with 3 rows and one column with 4 rows.
<table>
<td>
<tr> stuff1 </tr>
<tr> stuff2 </tr>
<td>
...
</table>
but swapping <tr> and <td> does not seem to works...
You can do that using rowspan property. Here is a clue :
table tr td {
border: 1px solid black;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">left</td>
<td>T-right</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>B-Right</td>
</tr>
</table>
You can achieve this by using the rowspan attribute. It works exactly like colspan. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_td_rowspan.asp
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
I don't know how to merge rows and columns inside HTML tables.
Can you please help me with making such a table in HTML?
If you're confused how table layouts work, they basically start at x=0, y=0 and work their way across. Let's explain with graphics, because they're so much fun!
When you start a table, you make a grid. Your first row and cell will be in the top left corner. Think of it like an array pointer, moving to the right with each incremented value of x, and moving down with each incremented value of y.
For your first row, you're only defining two cells. One spans 2 rows down and one spans 4 columns across. So when you reach the end of your first row, it looks something like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td colspan="4"></td>
</tr>
</table>
Now that the row has ended, the "array pointer" jumps down to the next row. Since x position 0 is already taken up by a previous cell, x jumps to position 1 to start filling in cells. * See note about difference between rowspans.
This row has four cells in it which are all 1x1 blocks, filling in the same width of the row above it.
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td colspan="4"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
The next row is all 1x1 cells. But, for example, what if you added an extra cell? Well, it would just pop off the edge to the right.
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td colspan="4"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
* But what if we instead (rather than adding the extra cell) made all these cells have a rowspan of 2? The thing you need to consider here is that even though you're not going to be adding any more cells in the next row, the row still must exist (even though it's an empty row). If you did try to add new cells in the row immediately after, you'd notice that it would start adding them to the end of the bottom row.
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td colspan="4"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
Enjoy the wonderful world of creating tables!
I'd suggest:
table {
empty-cells: show;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
table td,
table th {
min-width: 2em;
min-height: 2em;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th rowspan="2"></th>
<th colspan="4"> </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>I</th>
<th>II</th>
<th>III</th>
<th>IIII</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
References:
td element.
th element.
tbody element.
thead element.
table element.
If anyone is looking for a rowspan on both the left AND on the right,
here is how you can do it:
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
td {
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid black;
text-align: center;
}
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">LEFT</td>
<td> 1 </td>
<td> 2 </td>
<td> 3 </td>
<td> 4 </td>
<td rowspan="2">RIGHT</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> 5 </td>
<td> 6 </td>
<td> 7 </td>
<td> 8 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Alternatively, if you want to add the LEFT and RIGHT to an existing rowset, you can achieve the same result by throwing them in with a collapsed colspan in between:
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
td {
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid black;
text-align: center;
}
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">LEFT</td>
<td colspan="4" style="padding: 0; border-bottom: solid 1px transparent;"></td>
<td rowspan="3">RIGHT</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> 1 </td>
<td> 2 </td>
<td> 3 </td>
<td> 4 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> 5 </td>
<td> 6 </td>
<td> 7 </td>
<td> 8 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Use rowspan if you want to extend cells down and colspan to extend across.
You can use rowspan="n" on a td element to make it span n rows, and colspan="m" on a td element to make it span m columns.
Looks like your first td needs a rowspan="2" and the next td needs a colspan="4".
The property you are looking for that first td is rowspan:
http://www.angelfire.com/fl5/html-tutorial/tables/tr_code.htm
<table>
<tr><td rowspan="2"></td><td colspan='4'></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr>
</table>
<style type="text/css">
table { border:2px black dotted; margin: auto; width: 100%; }
tr { border: 2px red dashed; }
td { border: 1px green solid; }
</style>
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">x</td>
<td colspan="4">y</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>I</td>
<td>II</td>
<td>III</td>
<td>IV</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>nothing</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
</table>
I have used ngIf for one of my similar logic. it is as follows:
<table>
<tr *ngFor="let object of objectData; let i= index;">
<td *ngIf="(i%(object.rowSpan))==0" [attr.rowspan]="object.rowSpan">{{object.value}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
here,
i'm getting rowspan value from my model object.
<body>
<table>
<tr><td colspan="2" rowspan="2">1</td><td colspan="4">2</td></tr>
<tr><td>3</td><td>3</td><td>3</td><td>3</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2">1</td><td>3</td><td>3</td><td>3</td><td>3</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
Colspan and Rowspan
A table is divided into rows and each row is divided into cells. In some situations we need the Table Cells span across (or merged) more than one column or row. In these situations we can use Colspan or Rowspan attributes.
Colspan
The colspan attribute defines the number of columns a cell should span (or merge) horizontally. That is, you want to merge two or more Cells in a row into a single Cell.
<td colspan=2 >
How to colspan ?
<html>
<body >
<table border=1 >
<tr>
<td colspan=2 >
Merged
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Third Cell
</td>
<td>
Forth Cell
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Rowspan
The rowspan attribute specifies the number of rows a cell should span vertically. That is , you want to merge two or more Cells in the same column as a single Cell vertically.
<td rowspan=2 >

<html>
<body >
<table border=1 >
<tr>
<td>
First Cell
</td>
<td rowspan=2 >

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign=middle>
Third Cell
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
It is similar to your table
<table border=1 width=50%>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">x</td>
<td colspan="4">y</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor=#FFFF00 >I</td>
<td>II</td>
<td bgcolor=#FFFF00>III</td>
<td>IV</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>empty</td>
<td bgcolor=#FFFF00>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td bgcolor=#FFFF00>3</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
