Could someone help me with these fixes that were reported out from the 
w3c validator for the site at http://dkc.mse.jhu.edu/~cyork/dkcsite/template.html
Probably something very simple, but I keep overlooking whatever it is. 
The code is at the very bottom of this message.

**Line 45, column 5:
  <tr />
       ^
Error: missing a required sub-element of "tr"

** Line 45, column 5:
  <tr />
       ^
Error: missing a required sub-element of "tr"

** Line 46, column 13:
  <td width="3"></td>
               ^
Error: element "td" not allowed here; assuming missing "tr" start-tag

** Line 107, column 50:
  ... ence news briefs with a link to each full article"> 
                                                        ^
Error: element "table" not allowed here; possible cause is an inline 
element containing a block-level element

** Line 131, column 7:
  </table></div>
         ^
Error: end tag for "tr" omitted; end tags are required in XML for 
non-empty elements; empty elements require an end tag or the start tag 
must end 
with "/>"

** Line 46, column 0:
<td width="3"></td>
  ^
Error: start tag was here

Also, what (css code) would keep the height of the fuschia table 
containing the links at top from appearing extremely tall in Netscape 6/7, and just 
big enough to hold the text links there?
Thank you.
