In I.T. class right now we are working on "advanced html tables". Boring and confusing. This is the assignment (http://www.sd45.bc.ca/rockridge/personal/ict11/tables/images/table1quiz.jpg) we are working on right now, and i dont get it. At all. Anyone wanna give me a hand, or at least point me in the right direction?

and

Might give you a bit of a hand.

No offense to your professor, but that looks like a rather pointless project. Sure, tables have their place on the Web (displaying tabulated data), but I can't think of any practical situation whatsoever when you'd have to have a table look like that.

At the very least he could have you guys create a table with some sort of meaningful data (e.g., a calendar) hence preparing you for a real-world project. Nonetheless, the links provided above will get you on the right track.

Don't forget CSS and tables (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html) if you want an A+. :)

Can't resist giving you a couple hints to help get you going in the right direction. Try some searches on "colspan" and "rowspan". :)
