Now let us see how to deal with ROWSPAN (Row Span) and COLSPAN (Column Span).

If we desire the cell containing Ajay in Figure to be extended to the next cell as well and make that area part of its own, we can employ COLSPAN attribute. This used to merging two cells into one cell.  Those of you who are familiar with spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel will identify this as similar to its "merge cells" feature.  As you might have guessed, <ROWSPAN> is just as <COLSPAN>. The second table in Figure illustrates COLSPAN, the third table illustrates ROWSPAN and the fourth table illustrates an example featuring COLSPAN and ROWSPAN both.
