multi header table html code example

Example 1: html table multiple header rows

This is how I would do it (working fiddle at http://jsfiddle.net/7pDqb/) Tested in Chrome.

th, td { border: 1px solid black }
<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th colspan="2">Major 1</th>
      <th colspan="2">Major 2</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th>col1</th>
      <th>col2</th>
      <th>col3</th>
      <th>col4</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>data1</td>
      <td>data2</td>
      <td>data3</td>
      <td>data4</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
