Colspan / rowspan - not lining up?
Colspan / rowspan - not lining up?
(OP)
I have the following
I thought that would produce a table heading with 12 columns and two rows
1st row = first 4 cols span two rows, the next spans 3 cols, the next two rows, the next spans 3 cols and the last spans two rows.
2nd row = first 4 cols covered by above, then 3 cols, then covered by above, then 3 cols, then covered by above.
In essence Risk / Std / Full should line up under 'To be checked' and 'Actually checked', only they don't the second row starts aligned hard left under 'Firm' the first column?
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

I am afraid I do not understand you. You want this :
And the markup you posted does not render like above ?
Well, http://dabblet.com/gist/8824249 does for me. In Gecko, Presto, WebKit and Trident.
Are you sure the CSS does not change the display of any of those elements ?

Yes all of them have display:inline-block;

Just like width has no effect on inline elements, colspan has no effect on anything else then table-cell elements. Personally I do expect the browsers render them that way.

Sorry, I am not really fresh today. You mean that after applying CSS th { display: block } the column spanning works again ?

I changed it to table-cell and it is spanning correctly.
Though lining up a table head with a table body to enable a fixed heading with an overflow scroll drives me nuts.
Why the hell you can't overflow-scroll a tbody is beyond me, leaving the thead part of the same table is beyond me.
Do you ever have those days where it feels like you've worked ya butt off but got nothing done?

Oh, the scrolling table. Tried it some time ago. I managed to make two versions : one functional and one portable. Never succeeded in combining both features in one solution.

It's not a mortal sin, neither and the style police can't charge you with anything.
