If you create a table as follows:- ^ COL0 ^ COL1 ^ COL2 ^ | r1c0 | r1c1 | r1c2 | | ::: | r2c1 | r2c2 | | r3c0 | r3c1 | r3c2 | Then the HTML generated is:- <div class="table sectionedit1"><table class="inline"> <tr class="row0"> <th class="col0"> COL0 </th><th class="col1 centeralign"> COL1 </th><th class="col2 centeralign"> COL2 </th> </tr> <tr class="row1"> <td class="col0 centeralign" rowspan="2"> r1c0 </td><td class="col1 centeralign"> r1c1 </td><td class="col2 centeralign"> r1c2 </td> </tr> <tr class="row2"> <td class="col0 centeralign"> r2c1 </td><td class="col1 centeralign"> r2c2 </td> </tr> <tr class="row3"> <td class="col0 centeralign"> r3c0 </td><td class="col1 centeralign"> r3c1 </td><td class="col2 centeralign"> r3c2 </td> </tr> </table></div> Notice that the table data 'r2c1' has a class of col0. It hasn't allowed for the row span in the first column. -- Chris Green -- DokuWiki mailing list - more info at http://www.dokuwiki.org/mailinglist
