 * First off, many thanks to Tobias for developing a wonderful plugin with outstanding
   support. I’m having an issue with the appearance of my tables. Below is the custom
   code for my tables. All but one of my tables appear correctly. Here’s a link 
   to one that appears correct:
 * [http://cfbalmanac.com/bcs-college-football-national-champions/](http://cfbalmanac.com/bcs-college-football-national-champions/)
 * Here is a link to the one that does not appear correctly. Notice that the color
   scheme is not the same as the first link:

 * Thanks for any help that can be provided in resolving this issue.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The cause for this is the use of `#colspan#` in the second row of that table.
   Due to this, the DataTables JS library experiences an error, which also affects
   the styling.
 * As the DataTables JS library does not support colspan, you will either have to
   remove all `#colspan#` from the table, or uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox.
   Having both is not possible, unfortunately.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
