Hi there,  
I am a new member and I am also learning html. I have a question regarding colspans. It seems rather simple but I am having a time getting a row to span two columns in a table.  
col1 is a menu, col 2 is text and col3 is a photo. I want to place a row at the bottom of col2 and col3. Tried everything yet the table just explodes at each attempt. Sure need some advice. Thanks forum.
