    Hi,
    first thanks for your wondefull plugin, it’s great.

    I use many table where the the first row is a subheadline.
    could i use anyhow custom css to span the colums there without the need of entering #colspan# into the fields?

    thanks

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    I see what you mean, but unfortunately, this is not possible. This is actually a limitation in HTML and CSS and not in TablePress. Combined/connected cells must always be defined in HTML code, but can not be defined in CSS code.
    Sorry for not having better news here.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias,
    i was afraid that this would be your answer 🙁 but after reading
    that old thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2403990/html-colspan-in-css
    i got some hope for such a solution. Of course i do not understand fully what they talk about, but i believe you do :-).
    As this thread was filled with information over 10 Years it might be
    Interesting and gives a hint for a future implementation.

    Again, thanks a lot for tablepress. just amazing.

    Kind Regards

    Hi,

    they actually talk about a totally different HTML structure (using <div> tags instead of a <table> HTML tag). That’s not something I can do though, so this will not be possible.

    Good to hear that you like TablePress so much 🙂

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
     
    P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
