Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Question

What am I doing wrong here? The second 'phone number' doesn't show up underneath the first one but rather in the bottom cell of a fourth column that seemingly comes from nowhere.

<table border="2">
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td>Address</td>
<td>Phone Number</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="red">Sherri</td>
<td rowspan="2">5 Olive St</td>
<td>555-555-5555</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Rob</td>
<td></td>
<td>777-777-7777</td>
</tr>
</table>

Answer 1

remove rowspan="2"

because the second cell in second row is assigned to occupy two row-cellspace,

so third tr need two td only, (first td for first column, second td for third column), so the third td goes to a new column - the fourth column.

Answer 2

This is a second solution, if you keep rowspan, use only two td at third tr.

Meanwhile, table is old fashioned, learn CSS Grid System instead
