Tee, see if this is what you want:

<table>
<tr>
    <td class="firstsection">column 1</td>
    <td class="secondsection">column 2</td>
    <td class="secondsection">column 3</td>
    </tr>

<tr class="third_section_with_two_columns">
    <td colspan="1">column 1</td>
    <td colspan="2">column 2</td>
    </tr>
</table>

You had the word "cell" and the validator was complaing about that, then I adjusted the colspan, - you can adjust to suit yourself.

didn't actually validate it but used that Tidy extension I keep talking about and it flagged the problem.

cheers
Donna, now let's see if i can get back to work. :)

Hi, I am doing a table layout that has 3 columns and 3 sections in row. The first two sections have 3 columns but I want the last section to have only 2 columns.

My markup is such

    <tr>
    <td class="firstsection">column 1</td>
    <td class="secondsection">column 2</td>
    <td class="secondsection">column 3</td>
    </tr>

<tr class="third_section_with_two_columns">
    <td cell colspan="2">column 1</td>
    <td cell colspan="2">column 2</td>
    </tr>


W3C validator give me the "cell" is not a member of a group specified for any attribute." error.

How do I do to achieve desired layout and satify validator?


Thanks!

tee
