You can also do this:

Just add rowspan=2 to the <td>, like so:

<table border>

<tr>
<td rowspan=2>Cell 1</td>
<td>Cell 2</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Cell 3</td>
</tr>

</table>

See? "Rowspan=2" means the cell should span across two rows. Just remember that rows run horizontally and columns run vertically. So if you want to stretch a cell horizontally, use colspan. To stretch a cell vertically, use rowspan.
