Even after reviewing this guide (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?341034-table-s-in-the-Playground-All-you-want-to-know-about-the-table-code), I can't figure out how to make a table work the way I want it to.
I'm trying to put together two versions of a table:
one with two header rows (if it's possible) and standard alternating colors
one with no header, and rows that alternate non-standard colors
Both of them also need a colspan in the first row.
Also, I think a more accesible guide would be useful. (i.e. sticky it if it's right, make and sticky if that one's wrong)

[table=class: alt1]I see you've got "fancy" double quotes in there, not standard double quotes; that's why your row colors and colspan aren't working. I imagine you're using a word processor that's silently converting double quotes.

Now, for your header rows you'd want to add in the head class to the table, and use and instead of and for your header cells.

That thread has already been stickied a while ago.
You cannot have two header rows. While it may work in some browsers, this will cause issues. TH has a special meaning in HTML. Simulate multiple header rows by setting the same colours, do not use two rows of TH.
Your main problem, however, with what you have quoted appears to be because you are not using the correct quotation marks. You're using instead of ".

Ah, found it. I hadn't checked the other subforums.

Darn. I'll have to redesign the table, then.

Yup, that'd be it.
Thanks a ton!
