Anna: The colspan parameter defines the row with four columns. My table has about 24 rows of info, but the third row needs four columns, two lables: From and To as well as two edit fields.

I have two labels and two edit fields to display in the row so how do I position them accordingly. If I had three columns I would use <td class="alignLeft">, <td class="alignCenter">, etc. Jim James M.
