CODE <th colspan=”3” Contact Info </th <--! This is where I need help I am trying to make this span all 3 columns as the header!--> The syntax seems to be all messed up. A 'th' element must start with <th> and end with </td>. When you add bits like "colspan=3", they go inside the angle brackets, separated by spaces. (The quotes are not required around pure alphanumerics like '3'.) So try CODE <th colspan=3>Contact Info </th> <--! Should be ok now!--> |

whosaidmoo, Brian made a typo. The example was correct, but before that he wrote this:
QUOTE A 'th' element must start with <th> and end with </td> A TH should of course end with </th>, not </td>. |
