Jason,

You haven't included much information and there are no details.
However, base on what you have given us..... if this is an accurate
representation of your code.... then you need to change the ( ) marks to <>
marks like so:    <COLSPAN="3">.

We would need to see the full code for the table to give you a more accurate
answer.

have in this particular row is not long.  only a few chars.
