kengrI'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?

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Brooke's Adult Check</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FF0000">
<div align="center">
<font size="+2">
<table width="80%" border="0" align="center">

Date: 2004-05-20 10:26 am (UTC)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.
