HTML Table challenge

JuanTutors · 2006-03-19, 20:21

I suspect that an html table format like the following is impossible. I am still trying to get it, just for fun, but am challenging you to try for it too.

Rules:

1. Don't post code until you've tested it. The obvious didn't work for me.

Tip: If your html editor has a renderer, it probably doesn't render it the same as your browser.

Code:

______________
|    |       |
|____|       | 
|    |_______|
|____|       |
|    |       |
|____|_______|

I didn't expect it to be that easy. I tried quite a few things and nothing worked, but yours works, as it should obviously work.
