Question

I have an html table with one of the headers spanning over 2 columns. How can I add sub-headers to each of the 2 columns ?

For e.g. in the attached image, I want the ‘Contact’ column to have sub-headers ‘Phone’ and ‘Address’ for the respective columns.

The same way you would if you were drawing out the table on paper:

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th rowspan="2">Name</th>
      <th rowspan="2">Email</th>
      <th colspan="2">Contact</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th>Phone</th>
      <th>Address</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <!-- your data goes here -->
  </tbody>
</table>
