XHTML - 1 error stopping me.

[noj75]

Hi all,

Can someone help me with this. I only have 1 error to become XHTML valid but I just cant seem to sort it out.

The error is this:

Error  Line 207 column 16: document type does not allow element "td" here.

<td class="alt1"><img src="images/aria/misc/arrow.gif" alt="" class="inlineimg"

It is to do with my navbar. Here is the specific code for the navbar:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function log_out()
{
	ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
	ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";
	if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
	{
		return true;
	}
	else
	{
		ht[0].style.filter = "";
		return false;
	}
}
//-->
</script>

If any of you coders out that can spot the errors then please let me know.

**Edit** -- I cant seem to get rid of the < td > without then producing another 13 or so errors on the validation. Its driving me nuts.

Thanks alot.
