Name
colSpan — NN n/a IE 4 DOM 1
Synopsis
Read/Write
The number of columns across which the current table cell should
extend itself. For each additional column included in the
colSpan
count, one less TH
or
TD
element is required for the table row. If you
set the align
property to
center
or right
, the alignment
is calculated on the full width of the TH
element
across the specified number of columns. Unless the current cell also
specifies a ROWSPAN
attribute, the next table row
returns to the original column count.
Example
document.all.myTH.colSpan = 2
Value
Any positive integer, usually 2 or larger.
