Don't use tables for design. People here at SO will tell you that tables are used for displaying tabular data and you should use divs for your design. — Ryan Beaulieu, Jan 30 '13 at 13:24

I don't recommend using tables for creating that kind of layout, but if you really must use HTML tables, colspan attribute is the answer to your problem.

See the link and try the examples: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_td_colspan.asp
