Placing a table within a table is used a lot for creating complex tables. Here's a very simple example:
Note in the above example that in T 1, row 2, cell 1 (#1-2-1), this cell extends only across the width of row 1, cell 1, and not across under row 1, cell 2. How can we make this #1-2-1 extend clear across the width of the table? We'll add colspan="2" to the <td> of #1-2-1, since we want its width to span the two cells in the row above it. Now that attribute in the data cell tag will look like this:
You can also do this for the cell in the second row of the table inside the bigger table:
