Using “display: table-cell” is there a way of getting the “colspan” functionality? [duplicate]

Answer 1

No you cannot add colspan or rowspan to display:table-cell. It is one of the limitations in table-cell feature!

You can check the limitations in this reference link

If you want to bring the COLSPAN feature into table-cell, then you have to use table-row-group and table-caption feature as follows

display: table-caption

and

table-row-group;
