Question

Consider following code:

<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Table </title>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Column 1</th>
<th>Column 2</th>
<th>Column 3</th>
</tr>
<tr><td rowspan="2">AAA X</td><td>AAA Y</td><td>AAA 
Z</td></tr>
<tr><td>BBB Y</td><td>BBB
Z</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="3">CCC X</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

From the following four sample tables, identify which one will be created by above code:

(a)

Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
AAA X	AAA Y	AAA Z
	BBB Y	BBB Z
CCC X	BBB Y	BBB Z

(b)

Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
AAA X	AAA Y	AAA Z
CCC X	BBB Y	BBB Z

(c)

Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
AAA X	AAA Y	AAA Z
	BBB Y	BBB Z
CCC X

(d)

Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
AAA X	AAA Y	AAA Z
	BBB Y	BBB Z
CCC X

Answer 1

Table (d) will be created by above code.

rowspan="2" makes AAA X span two rows. colspan="3" makes CCC X span all three columns. Therefore, table (d) is the correct output.
