aligning information with headings in a table - easy and urgent

Hi, if I have a table that displays headings with three fields of information for each heading like so:
|heading one|heading two|heading three|
|va |va |var |va |va |var |va |va | var|

Ive tried numerous of doing ways of doing this but always end up with:
|heading one|heading two|heading three|
|va |va|var|va |va |var|va |va|var |
ie the headings are not aligned with the information.

How can I write html code to achieve this?

Thank you

<table summary="" border="1">
<thead>
      <tr>
            <th style="width: 266px;" colspan="3">Heading 1</th>
            <th style="width: 266px;" colspan="3">Heading 2</th>
            <th style="width: 266px;" colspan="3">Heading 3</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
            <th>SubHeading 1</th>
            <th>SubHeading 2</th>
            <th>SubHeading 3</th>
            <th>SubHeading 4</th>
            <th>SubHeading 5</th>
            <th>SubHeading 6</th>
            <th>SubHeading 7</th>
            <th>SubHeading 8</th>
            <th>SubHeading 9</th>
      </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
       <td>Data</td>
            <td>Data</td>
            <td>Data</td>
            <td>Data</td>
            <td>Data</td>
            <td>Data</td>
            <td>Data</td>
            <td>Data</td>
            <td>Data</td>
      </tbody>
</table>

if you want all your headings to be one color (to seperate from the DATA) make it
<thead bgcolor="#ccffff">

flow79

or else or HTML/CSS to style the table in any manner youd like.

flow79

also, i just looked at my code, you need to add: <tr> tags around each row of td's like so:

<tr>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
</tr>

Sorry about forgetting the tr
