Phil:
In ASP.Net it's just as simple but far more flexible. The entire point of
having a runat="server" is that it creates a rich and capable server-side
object, in this case an HtmlTableCell. Instead of messing up your html code
with <%= %> you can program against your objects to set their variables.

In other words:

<asp:TableCell id="cellContent" runat=server>...</asp:TableCell>

and then you can do, in the Page_Load event:

cellContent.ColumnSpan = NumberOfCols
