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
