Column span for display: table-cell

Is it possible to span elements with display: table-cell across columns as you would with a table <td> using colspan="100%"?

First of all, please realize that doing colspan = "100%" is actually equivalent to colspan = "100" — browsers just make the cell span all columns in case the number of columns is less than 100.

In the general case, to get a a cell that spans the whole table, check out <caption>, although it has more limited use than one would hope.

As for your question, you basically can't achieve what you're trying to achieve without using actual HTML tables. There are many other questions on StackOverflow that have answers providing hacks, though.
