I have a JavaScript function which creates a table with 3 rows 2 cells.

Could anybody tell me how I can create the table below using my function (I need to do this for my situation)?

Here is my JavaScript and HTML code given below:

function tableCreate() {
  //body reference 
  var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];

  // create elements <table> and a <tbody>
  var tbl = document.createElement("table");
  var tblBody = document.createElement("tbody");

  // cells creation
  for (var j = 0; j <= 2; j++) {
    // table row creation
    var row = document.createElement("tr");

    for (var i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
      // create element <td> and text node 
      //Make text node the contents of <td> element
      // put <td> at end of the table row
      var cell = document.createElement("td");
      var cellText = document.createTextNode("cell is row " + j + ", column " + i);

      cell.appendChild(cellText);
      row.appendChild(cell);
    }

    //row added to end of table body
    tblBody.appendChild(row);
  }

  // append the <tbody> inside the <table>
  tbl.appendChild(tblBody);
  // put <table> in the <body>
  body.appendChild(tbl);
  // tbl border attribute to 
  tbl.setAttribute("border", "2");
}
<table width="100%" border="1">
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td rowspan="2">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>

    This should work (from a few alterations to your code above).

    function tableCreate() {
  var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
  var tbl = document.createElement('table');
  tbl.style.width = '100%';
  tbl.setAttribute('border', '1');
  var tbdy = document.createElement('tbody');
  for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    var tr = document.createElement('tr');
    for (var j = 0; j < 2; j++) {
      if (i == 2 && j == 1) {
        break
      } else {
        var td = document.createElement('td');
        td.appendChild(document.createTextNode('\u0020'))
        i == 1 && j == 1 ? td.setAttribute('rowSpan', '2') : null;
        tr.appendChild(td)
      }
    }
    tbdy.appendChild(tr);
  }
  tbl.appendChild(tbdy);
  body.appendChild(tbl)
}
tableCreate();
