Important note about colspan and rowspan

Keep in mind that when you span a column or row you have to delete the tags for the rows that are being spanned over. Otherwise you'll throw out your table.

If you have a 3 column table and you span the first column to take up two column spots, you need to have 2 <td> tags for columns (1 & 2) and column (3).

Hope that makes sense. Be careful out there kids.

Is this in reference to a particular conversion exercise? Normally, I wouldn't expect there to be anything to delete if you are constructing the code for a (new) span.
