HTML help requested

[kengr]

I'm using the validator at w3.org to check my web pages. It's caught some stuff, but there's one "error" that I'm tearing my hair over.

It doesn't like the table tag. The specific error it's giving is:

document type does not allow element "TABLE" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag

Anybody want to explain what the hell they are talking about?

Ah. The page is one I got from someone else (with permission) and have been modifying to fit my needs.

I don't know "styles" yet, and I'd just as soon put them off a bit longer.

Moving the font tag helped, now I've got problems with "div align=" which is probably the same sort of thing.

Try HTML Tidy it can do much cleanup safely.

I managed to get it fixed myself. And removed a bunch of unneded crud in the process.

And more to the point, I learned more about HTML.
