Table Rowspans Made Easy

If you have a cell that spans vertically to the bottom of the table, past rows that might vary in number or are too numerous to easily count, just give it a rowspan that you know is excessively high; in the example below, 99. Browser specification states that browsers shouldn’t create any extra rows.

Example:

<table>
   <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td>It</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>doesn't</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>matter</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>how</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>many</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>rows</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>are</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>here.</td>
   </tr>
</table>
