am I among html friends here? Adding a button into a row on an asp.net page

[hazz]

Below is one row with a company logo in the left table cell and 'Reporting Tool' in the table cell on the right.
I would like to add a button in this same row, just to the right of the company logo, which will be for clicking on to create an Excel spreadsheet from the grid.
How do I use the colspan tag so that the rows above and below don't create new table cells themselves? Thank you. -greg

<tr>
<td colspan="1" style="height: 1px; text-align: center; ">
<img src="Images/logo_small.gif" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px;" /></td>
<td style="height: 1px;width:10%; text-align: center"> Put button here. </td>
<td colspan="1" style="height: 1px;width:100%; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Tahoma"></span>
<h2><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Tahoma">Reporti ng Tool</span></h2>
</td>
</tr>

what do i put in this row below so it is not affected by the additional table cell in the row above it? colspan = ?

<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top; width: 200px; height: 300px; background-color: lightgrey">
<asp:TreeView ID="TreeView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="S iteMapDataSourc e1" ImageSet="Arrow s" OnSelectedNodeC hanged="TreeVie w1_SelectedNode Changed">
<ParentNodeStyl e Font-Bold="False" />
<HoverNodeSty le Font-Underline="True " ForeColor="#555 5DD" BackColor="Yell ow" />
<SelectedNodeSt yle Font-Underline="True " ForeColor="#555 5DD" HorizontalPaddi ng="0px"
VerticalPadding ="0px" />
<NodeStyle Font-Names="Tahoma" Font-Size="10pt" ForeColor="Blac k" HorizontalPaddi ng="5px"
NodeSpacing="0p x" VerticalPadding ="0px" />
</asp:TreeView>
</td>
<td style="width: 403px; margin: 0px;">
&nbsp;
<asp:ContentPla ceHolder ID="ContentPlac eHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlac eHolder>
</td>
</tr>

Not enitely sure what you are asking. The colspan atribute determines how
many columns a cell will span. e.g.

<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td collspan="2"></td>
</tr>
</table>

would give you a table with two rows. The first row would contain two cells
the second row would contain one cell that spanned acros the same space as
the two cells in the row above. I hope that helps.
