Why is colspan not a known native attribute in Angular 2? Last Updated : 26 Jun, 2020 Comments Improve Suggest changes Like Article Like Report In order to understand it, we need to have a clear in-depth knowledge between Document Object Model(DOM) and HyperText Markup Language(HTML).Basically, DOM is a model of objects and is a logical tree representation of the document whereas HTML is a markup language that we used to build web-pages.Every HTML attributes have one to one mapping to properties of DOM objects. Example: First Name html <label for="fname">First Name </label> <input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" disabled > So, The above example contains two tags label and input. As we can observe, there is an attribute defined inside the input tag which is "disabled".Similarly, if you talk about DOM properties, disabled is also present inside the input object.But they are cases where some attributes of HTML tags are not available inside the DOM. Example: colspan. Like colspan, So when you try to use them for attribute binding in Angular 2+, you will get an error which says "can't bind to colspan since it isn't a known property of 'td' ".Similarly, we have some properties which are defined in DOM but are not present in HTML. Example: html <h2 [textContent]="title"></h1> Solution:In order to use them for attribute binding you need to use the following syntax "[attr.colspan]". javascript import {Component} from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector:'app-colspan', template: ` <h4> Colspan Usage </h4> <table> <tr> <td [attr.colspan]="colSpan">First Item </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Second Item</td> <td>Third Item </td> </tr> </table> `, styles:[` table, tr, td{ border: 1px solid black; border-collapse:collapse; } `] }) export class ColSpanComponent{ colSpan="2" } Output: Create Quiz Comment B bunnyram19 Follow 0 Improve B bunnyram19 Follow 0 Improve Article Tags : Web Technologies AngularJS AngularJS-Misc Explore AngularJS BasicsAngularJS Tutorial 5 min read Introduction to AngularJS 4 min read Angular CLI | Angular Project Setup 3 min read AngularJS Expressions 2 min read AngularJS Modules 3 min read AngularJS ng-model Directive 4 min read AngularJS Data Binding 4 min read AngularJS Controllers 3 min read AngularJS | Scope 2 min read AngularJS Services 4 min read AngularJS | AJAX - $http 3 min read AngularJS | Tables 2 min read AngularJS Select Boxes 2 min read AngularJS SQL 3 min read AngularJS HTML DOM 2 min read AngularJS Events 3 min read AngularJS | Forms 3 min read AngularJS Form Validation 3 min read AngularJS | API 2 min read AngularJS and W3.CSS 2 min read AngularJS Includes 3 min read AngularJS Animations 1 min read AngularJS | Application 3 min read AngularJS DirectivesAngularJS Directives 9 min read AngularJS ng-app Directive 1 min read AngularJS ng-bind Directive 2 min read AngularJS ng-bind-html Directive 2 min read AngularJS ng-bind-template Directive 2 min read AngularJS ng-blur Directive 1 min read AngularJS ng-change Directive 2 min read AngularJS ng-checked Directive 2 min read AngularJS ng-class Directive 2 min read AngularJS ng-class-even Directive 2 min read AngularJS ng-class-odd Directive 2 min read AngularJS ng-click Directive 2 min read AngularJS ng-cloak Directive 2 min read AngularJS ng-controller Directive 2 min read AngularJS Directives Complete Reference 2 min read AngularJS FiltersAngularJS | Filters 7 min read AngularJS currency Filter 2 min read AngularJS | date Filter 2 min read AngularJS filter Filter 3 min read AngularJS json Filter 2 min read AngularJS limitTo Filter 2 min read AngularJS lowercase Filter 1 min read AngularJS number Filter 1 min read AngularJS orderBy Filter 4 min read AngularJs uppercase Filter 1 min read AngularJS Converting FunctionsAngularJS angular.lowercase() Function 2 min read AngularJS angular.uppercase() Function 1 min read AngularJS angular.forEach() Function 1 min read AngularJS Comparing FunctionsAngularJS angular.isArray() Function 2 min read AngularJS angular.isDate() Function 2 min read AngularJS angular.isDefined() Function 2 min read AngularJS angular.isElement() Function 2 min read AngularJS angular.isFunction() Function 2 min read AngularJS angular.isNumber() Function 2 min read AngularJS angular.isObject() Function 2 min read AngularJS | angular.isString() Function 1 min read AngularJS angular.isUndefined() Function 2 min read AngularJS angular.equals() Function 2 min read AngularJS angular.toJson() Function 2 min read AngularJS QuestionsHow to bundle an Angular app for production? 4 min read How to add many functions in one ng-click directive? 2 min read How to directly update a field by using ng-click in AngularJS ? 3 min read How to Add Dynamic Options for Multiple Selects Inside ng-repeat Directive ? 3 min read How to detect when an @Input() value changes in Angular? 3 min read How to open popup using Angular and Bootstrap ? 2 min read How to reload or re-render the entire page using AngularJS? 2 min read How to add input fields dynamically on button click in AngularJS ? 2 min read How to Create Button Dynamically with Click Event in Angular ? 2 min read How to use jQuery in Angular ? 2 min read AngularJS Examples 2 min read Like
