td colspan does not work while using jquery show/hide()

Question

I have a table of content

<table>
<thead>
  <tr>
    <th>First Name </th>
    <th>Last Name </th>
    <th>Description</th>
  </tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
  <tr class="odd">
    <td>John</td>
    <td>Deo</td>
    <td><a class="personal-checking-more-link">More</a></td>
  </tr>
  <tr><td style="display:none" colspan="3">Description goes for 1st row</td></tr>
  <tr class="odd">
    <td>Jaden</td>
    <td>Aidan</td>
    <td><a class="personal-checking-more-link">More</a></td>
  </tr>
  <tr><td style="display:none" colspan="3">Description goes for 2nd row</td></tr>
</tbody>

When I click on More then 1st row Description will shown. it shows perfactly but colspan does not work.

here is my js code

personalChecking = function () {
        $('a.personal-checking-more-link').click(function() {
            $(this).parent().parent().next().toggle('slow');
        });

    }
$(document).ready(personalChecking);

Thanks in advance

This is the problem with 'display:block'

Please refer the below link http://thedesignspace.net/MT2archives/000376.html#.UUrg3FfCd1u

If you are hiding tr, then use 'display:table-row' instead of 'display:block' to display that tr,

If you are hiding td, then use 'display:table-cell' instead of 'display:block' to display that td
