Having got my code working :-)
I decided to validate :-(

Most is getting sorted; but i have a problem with JS and tables.

I use tables to format my page:
 a row across the top spanning 2 columns for my header-logo,  (same in all
pages)
 a fixed-width column on the Left  for my nav-buttons, and       (same in
all pages)
 a wide column taking up the rest of the page for my content;    (different)

a format that i believe is fairly standard ("correct my if i'm wrong").

However;
for my "prices" page, i include another table within the content-cell;
and i fill that using Javascript that multiplies up incrementing weights by
unit cost.
This works fine; *but*
when i try to validate my code,  it tells me that i cannot have <script>
tags within my <table> definition.

I started moving the script out of the prices-table (putting the table
definition into the JS as
document.write("<table..> format)

But then i hit the fact that i was still within my main-table content-cell;
which I cannot really climb out of as the whole page is covered by a single
table.

my code is now at:
http://mysite.freeserve.com/bbm/PressGang6/PGHome6.html

and it is the Prices page giving me grief.

(Errors after the script/table errors are all due to the Freeserve-inserted
last line, which i can live with for now).



Many thanks for any help -
