how to programmatically add colspan in ZK/Zul?

How to set property of colspan in ZUL framework?

e.g. 

Tr tr = new Tr();

Td td = new Td();

tr.appendChild(td);


td = new Td();

tr.appendChild(td);

now, in next row, i have to put up single td inside the table row through composer which will cover the space of two td . how can i achieve this?

<Table>
    <tr>
      <td>
      </td/>
       <td>
       </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="2">
      </td>
    </tr>
</table>

In ZUL this is not done with <table>, <tr>, and <td> tags but with <grid>, <row>, and <cell> tags. Like so..

<grid>
    <columns>
        <column label="A" />
        <column label="B" />
    </columns>
    <rows>
        <row>
            <cell>
                <label value="item 1" />
            </cell>
            <cell>
                <label value="item 2" />
            </cell>
        </row>
        <row>
            <cell colspan="2">
                <label value="item 3" />
            </cell>
        </row>
    </rows>
</grid>

From the Java side, then, this becomes easy..

Grid grid = new Grid();
Rows rows = new Rows();
rows.setParent(grid);
Row row1 = new Row();
row1.setParent(rows);
Cell cell1 = new Cell();
cell1.setParent(row1);
cell1.appendChild(new Label("item1"));
Cell cell2 = new Cell();
cell2.setParent(row1);
cell2.appendChild(new Label("item2"));
Row row2 = new Row();
row2.setParent(rows);
Cell cell3 = new Cell();
cell3.setParent(row2);
cell3.appendChild(new Label("item3"));
cell3.setColspan(2); // this is what you're looking for

Please refer to the (great) ZK docs for more information.
