HTMLTableColElement: span property

Baseline Widely available

The span read-only property of the HTMLTableColElement interface represents the number of columns this <col> or <colgroup> must span; this lets the column occupy space across multiple columns of the table. It reflects the span attribute.

Value

A positive number representing the number of columns.

Note: When setting a new value, the value is clamped to the nearest strictly positive number (up to 1000).

Examples

This example provides two buttons to modify the column span of the first cell of the body.
