I'm trying to validate a site that I'm working on, but each time I try to fix the error, more errors occur. It's driving me crazy, because right now, I only have one error.
Click here. Anyone know how to fix that without having to remove it completely?.. |

Does it have anything to do with the space before the > ?
 Sorry, I may sound like an idiot.

On line 15--I think you forgot to close the first <td> tag. (I copied the code and marked the tag in question off with three asterisks.)
CODE <br /><div align="center"> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"><tr>***<td valign="top">***<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> It is left open, but on line 53 (the line that generates the error) you open another <td> tag, which you can't do until you close the other one. |

HTML Line 57, column 53: document type does not allow element "table" here; missing one of "th", "td" start-tag ...ng="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"><tr><td valign="top"><table cellspacing The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element. One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>"). I haven't tried much yet, but from what I did try, I got up to 8 more errors. |

I haven't looked at it in detail, but make sure that <table> tag on line 57 lies within a <td> tag. In XHTML 1.0, no tags may fall outside a <td> tag (except for <tr> tags and the opening and closing <table> tag, of course).

not all sites will validate if you want them to look right.
try using a table within a div instead of a table within a table... i havent actually looked at your site though, so dont shoot me if im totally off. |
