We also added a cell at the bottom to separate bLink's email address from the rest of the text. The table in Figure 2 has three rows. The third row contains one cell with bLink's email address. What's new here is that we are using different numbers of cells in each row and that some cells stretch across multiple columns and rows. Draw how you want the table to look, number all the rows and columns, and identify the cells you need to span.
Browsers like to display uniform tables with equal numbers of cells in each row.
So, if you don't span the single cell in the first row, browsers will compensate by inserting filler space where they expect a second cell, resulting in an awkward-looking table. If we removed this attribute, the browser would make both cells the same width, defeating the purpose of our layout. Using the concepts you've learned in this tables tutorial, you can create a variety of effective and attractive table-based page layouts. Experiment with different cell and row combinations to find what works best for you. With practice, you'll soon be a tables aficionado, and it'll show on your Web site.
