a break in a table

i need to break them up

||name  || id || 
__________________
||tab || 1||
||ritchie|| 2||
__________________
_________________
||apple|| 3

if i use tr td, it would end up as

||tab || 1||
||ritchie|| 2||
__________________
_______||_________
||apple|| 3

ther ewould be a line in the break too.

how to achieve the one whole single row thing?

thanks

You might be looking for colspan="2", but it's awfully hard to tell without seeing some source.
