error in my footer

[atcspaul]

i have an error in my footer and keep trying things to fix it and driving me nuts. any help would be apreciated. it says Error: missing a required sub-element of table. here is where it shows the error

<form action="$vboptions[forumhome].php" method="get">
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" class="page" align="center"></table>
<div align="center">
<div class="smallfont" align="center">

I think you need a <tr> and a <td> in your table, like this:

<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" class="page" align="center"><tr><td></td></tr></table>

Is there a closing form tag?

error gone. here is the last one error is gone. not sure what i did but a new one came up and should be an easy fix. it says that end tag for element "div" which is not open

here is the html

<div align="center">

<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
$vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
</div>
<div class="smallfont" align="center">
<!-- Do not remove $cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
$cronimage
<!-- Do not remove $cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
$vboptions[copyrighttext]
</div> </div>

<br />
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/fot_back.gif)">
<tr>

You should post the whole code and not parts and bits.
