table rows of varying numbers of cells Options

[jimlongo]

Is there some way to do this ? Arrange the tds in a table, different numbers of rows each centered across the table width.

You can use colspan like this:

CODE

<tr>
  <td colspan="2">X</td><td colspan="2">X</td><td colspan="2">X</td><td colspan="2">X</td>
</tr><tr>
  <td></td><td colspan="2">X</td><td colspan="2">X</td><td colspan="2">X</td><td></td>
</tr><tr>
  <td colspan="2"></td><td colspan="2">X</td><td colspan="2">X</td><td colspan="2"></td>
</tr>

Good one, thanks Darin.

Nifty!

Is that non-standard. I ask because it seems to make TDs varying sizes.

Also seems to be making this table wider than it should be

unless there's something wrong with this css

CODE

td {
padding: 15px 0  15px 15px;
}
        
table,tr {
width:550px;
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
}    

img.thumb {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border:0;
}
