Generate html table with merged cells

[Greg]

I need to dynamically construct a table in code (vb.net) that will
have merged cells. It should look something like this:

_____________
| | row 1 (contains an image control)
_____________
| | | | row 2 (contains an image control, data,
another image control)
_____________
| | row 3 (contains an image control)
_____________
| | | | row 4 (contains an image control, data,
another image control)
_____________

So every other row would appear as a merged cell. I've tried
specifying the rowspan property of the cell prior to adding to the row
collection, but when I do, it wacks the formatting completely. I'm
trying to display data with a rounded border around the text similar
to the way the google groups appear. Any help is appreciated.

You want to set the colspan, not the rowspan.
