How to set colspan dynamically using jquery?
<p>Hi i am displaying time tables. I want to add colspan dynamically to an element which contains string Lab. The table stored in database as follow:-</p>

<pre><code>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|    Day  | 9-10       | 10-11 | 11-12 | 12- 1| 1-2 |  2-3                |  3-4 |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Monday  | DA601     | DA602 | DA603 |      |     | DA602 Lab/DA603 Lab  |      |
| Tuesday | DA601 Lab |       |       |      |     | DA602 Lab/DA603 Lab  |      |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</code></pre>

<p>So when the table is displayed in the application i want to colspan the lab entry so that it display in 2-3 and 3-4. I am unable to think of a way to do it. Kindly please provide a way to do it with javascript/jquery or any other technique.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;table class="table table-bordered table-xxs"&gt;
    &lt;thead&gt;
        &lt;tr class="bg-info-600"&gt;
             &lt;th&gt;Day&lt;/th&gt;
             &lt;th&gt;9-10&lt;/th&gt;
             &lt;th&gt;10-11&lt;/th&gt;
             &lt;th&gt;11-12&lt;/th&gt;
             &lt;th&gt;12-1&lt;/th&gt;
             &lt;th&gt;1-2&lt;/th&gt;
             &lt;th&gt;2-3&lt;/th&gt;
             &lt;th&gt;3-4&lt;/th&gt;
        &lt;/tr&gt;
      &lt;/thead&gt;

      &lt;tbody&gt;
       &lt;?php 
            $sql="SELECT * FROM tt" ; 
            $results = $timetable-&gt;query($sql);
            while($row = $results-&gt;fetch_assoc()) 
            {
                echo '&lt;tr&gt;'; 
                echo "&lt;td&gt;{$row['day']}&lt;/td&gt;"; 
                echo "&lt;td&gt;{$row['9-10']}&lt;/td&gt;"; 
                echo "&lt;td&gt;{$row['10-11']}&lt;/td&gt;"; 
                echo "&lt;td&gt;{$row['11-12']}&lt;/td&gt;"; 
                echo "&lt;td&gt;{$row['12-1']}&lt;/td&gt;"; 
                echo "&lt;td&gt;{$row['1-2']}&lt;/td&gt;"; 
                echo "&lt;td&gt;{$row['2-3']}&lt;/td&gt;"; 
                echo "&lt;td&gt;{$row['3-4']}&lt;/td&gt;"; 
                echo '&lt;/tr&gt;';                       
            }
        ?&gt;
