If I try to run slideDown on a table row that has TD's with multiple colspan, the colspan amount is completely ignored.
My Table looks like so: <table> <tr> <td> content </td> <td> content </td> </tr> <tr style="display:none" id="hiddenTR"> <td colspan="2"> hidden content </td> </tr> </tr> The javascript code is very simple: $('#hiddenTR').slideDown(); If you try running that code, you will notice that colspan="2" is ignored, instead it behaves as if colspan="1" What is the proper workaround? Is this wrong altogether?
