Splitting a table cell into two columns in HTML

Answer 1

Like this http://jsfiddle.net/8ha9e/1/

Add colspan="2" to the 3rd <th> and then have 4 <td>'s in your second row.

<table border="1">
  <tr>
    <th scope="col">Header</th>
    <th scope="col">Header</th>
    <th scope="col" colspan="2">Header</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th scope="row">&nbsp;</th>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <!-- The following two cells will appear under the same header -->
    <td>Col 1</td>
    <td>Col 2</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Answer 2

You have two options.

1. Use an extra column in the header, and use <colspan> in your header to stretch a cell for two or more columns.
2. Insert a <table> with 2 columns inside the td you want extra columns in.

Answer 3

is that what your looking for?

<table border="1">
<tr>
 <th scope="col">Header</th>
 <th scope="col">Header</th>
 <th scope="col" colspan="2">Header</th>
</tr>
<tr>
 <th scope="row">&nbsp;</th>
 <td>&nbsp;</td>
 <td>Split this one</td>
 <td>into two columns</td>
</tr>
</table>  

Answer 4

Change the <td> to be split to look like this:

<td><table><tr><td>split 1</td><td>split 2</td></tr></table></td> 

Answer 5

Use this example, you can split with the colspan attribute

<TABLE BORDER>
     <TR>
         <TD>Item 1</TD>
         <TD>Item 1</TD>
         <TD COLSPAN=2>Item 2</TD>
    </TR>
    <TR>
         <TD>Item 3</TD>
         <TD>Item 3</TD>
         <TD>Item 4</TD>
         <TD>Item 5</TD>
    </TR>
</TABLE>
