Re: Table tag non-validation

Sharon,

the problem is actually *above* your table.

Something goes wrong just above it. The validator is actually telling you
it isn't finding what it needs *before* it encounters the table because it
is telling you the table doesn't belong there.

That page *probably* either contains a form or a JavaScript. One of those
are malformed I would guess.

Make any sense at all?

You might want to consider posting the URL as my ESP is a little foggy
today :-)

Fuzzy.
