I'm having problems with a table layout i'm doing for a blog.

This is the shape of the cells I want it to be...

111111222222
111111222222
333344445555
333344445555
333344445555
333344445555

Is it even possible to have the cells 1 and 2 overlapping 4? If not then would I need to replace table 4 with 2 separate tables?
-_- I'm not very good at all this... please help!

I'm not sure if that would be possible... your best bet would probably be to make the top & bottom two seperate tables.

try this...

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
one
</td><td colspan="2">
two
</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>
three
</td><td colspan="2">
four
</td><td>
five
</td>
</tr>
</table>

thanks very much, it seems to work great apart from slight wonkyness. I should think it'll even out once I put all the data in the cells. Thanks!
