2.1.17 [HTML] Section 11.2.6, Table cells: The TH and TD elements
V0022:
-
rowspan = number [CN] This attribute specifies the number of rows spanned by the current cell. The default value of this attribute is one ("1"). The value zero ("0") means that the cell spans all rows from the current row to the last row of the table section (THEAD, TBODY, or TFOOT) in which the cell is defined.
All Document Modes (All Versions)
If the rowspan attribute for a TD or TH
element is specified with a value of 0
, this
value is ignored and a default value of 1
is used
instead.
This causes the HTML4 Test Suite [W3C-HTML4-TS] "Test 11_2_6-BF-01 Table cells: The TH and TD elements" test case to fail. For more information about the failure, see section 3.2 in Appendix A: Test Case Failures.
Quirks Mode and IE7 Mode (All Versions)
Values for rowspan greater than 1000
will be ignored.
IE8 Mode (All Versions)
Values for rowspan greater than 1000
will cause the entire table to fail to render.
V0023:
-
colspan = number [CN] This attribute specifies the number of columns spanned by the current cell. The default value of this attribute is one ("1"). The value zero ("0") means that the cell spans all columns from the current column to the last column of the column group (COLGROUP) in which the cell is defined.
All Document Modes (All Versions)
If the colspan attribute for a TD or TH
element is specified with a value of 0
(zero),
this value is ignored and a default value of 1
(one) is used instead.
This causes the HTML4 Test Suite [W3C-HTML4-TS] "Test 11_2_6-BF-01 Table cells: The TH and TD elements" test case to fail. For more information about the failure, see section 3.3 in Appendix A: Test Case Failures.
Quirks Mode and IE7 Mode (All Versions)
Values for colspan greater than 1000
will be ignored.
IE8 Mode (All Versions)
Values for colspan greater than 1000
will cause the entire table to fail to render.
