where is rowspan in table class

[eluser]mysterious[/eluser]
i have created a table using table class, can't find any function or way for row and colspan. Can anyone help me??

There isn't one. The table class isn't designed to handle much more than the most basic of tables. You can't set attributes on a per-cell or a per-row basis.

its not fair..in other words we should not use table class??

I didn't say that... I said it isn't designed to handle much more than basic tables. You can always extend it if it doesn't do something you need.

I know this one is a bit old, but I found this topic via google and I know the answer, so I'm posting it here. Here's the solution for adding `colspan` and `rowspan` to the table without extending the library:

Code:

ee()->table->add_row(
    'first col',
    'second col',
    array('rowspan' => '2', 'data' => 'extra tall')
);
ee()->table->add_row(
    array('colspan' => '2', 'data' => 'extra wide')
);

The core CodeIgniter library supports either a string or an associative array for a value. If an associative array is provided all key/value pairs are translated to attribute/value pairs with the exception of an entry with the array key of 'data'. the value for the key 'data' is used as the content of the table cell.
