[html5] using colspan with nested html tables

Thu May 8 09:11:16 PDT 2014

<!--colspan counts the number of columns in the NEXT tr just below declaration -->
<!--Also you have one table (not three) -->

<body>
<table border=1 frame=void cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 style="width: 100%;">
<tr>
<th colspan=20 align=center>
<h2>Limits</h2>
</th>
</tr>
<tr>

<th align=center valign=bottom colspan=6>Position Limits</th>
<th align=left valign=bottom colspan=4>Aim Order Limits</th>
<th align=left valign=bottom colspan=4>Actual Order Limits</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

<!-- you are in the same table so you dont need a second declaration -->
<!-- table border=1 frame=void cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 -->
<tr>
<!-- th align=left valign=bottom colspan=6></th -->
<th align=left valign=bottom colspan=2>Book</th>
<th align=left valign=bottom colspan=2>Product</th>
<th align=left valign=bottom colspan=2>Cluster</th>
<th align=left valign=bottom colspan=2>Buy</th>
<th align=left valign=bottom colspan=2>Sell</th>
<th align=left valign=bottom colspan=2>Buy</th>
<th align=left valign=bottom colspan=2>Sell</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

<tr>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Product</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Cluster</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Symbol</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Ticker</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Market</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>MaxShort</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Min</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Max</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Min</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Max</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Min</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Max</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Min</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Max</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Min</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Max</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Min</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Max</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Min</th>
<th align=center valign=bottom>Max</th>
</tr>
<tr>
