Default validation using w3.org help!
hi there folks i need a bit of help validating my site

i started off with over 300 errors and have got it down to 46.

the next error i need to deal with relates to my forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template, which is

Code:
<!-- top -->
<table class="forumbit1" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td class="cattitle" width="35" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cattitle_left.gif" width="35" height="47" alt="&nbsp;" /></td>
    <td class="cattitle" width="85%">
 <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a> 
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']">: <span class="smallfont">$forum[description]</span></if>
</td>
    <td class="cattitle" valign="top">
 
 <div align="right">
 <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cattitle_right.gif" width="35" height="47" alt="&nbsp;" /> 
</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="3">
 
 
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="95%" align="center">
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
 <tr align="center">
   <td class="thead" width="5%">&nbsp;</td>
   <td class="thead" width="45%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
           <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
   <td class="thead" width="30%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
   <td class="thead" width="10%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
   <td class="thead" width="10%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
   <if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">
   <td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
   </if>
 </tr>
$childforumbits
</if>
</tbody>
</table>
 
 
 
 </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="catfooter"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/catfooter_left.gif" alt="&nbsp;" /></td>
    <td class="catfooter">&nbsp;</td>
    <td class="catfooter"><div align="right"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/catfooter_right.gif" alt="&nbsp;" /></div></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<!-- /top -->
<!--div style="padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;"></div-->
the error i need to sort out is

Quote:
Line 249, Column 80: document type does not allow element "table" here .
?r="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).
One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error).
any help here would be grately appreciated

Your tags aren't nested properly. You went:

Code:
<table>
<if>
<tbody>
....
</if>
</tbody>
</table>

Actually, you will get an error if that if statement evals to false (just ask Dieselminded - he's got an error just like that on a different page). You should put the if statement outside of the table. The thing is, you can't have:
HTML Code:
<table>
</table>
You need to have at least:
HTML Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I've told you... you need to put the <if> tags outside of the <table> tags or it won't validate.

ok i've moved the if conditionals so the code now looks like

Code:
<!-- top -->
<table class="forumbit1" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td class="cattitle" width="35" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cattitle_left.gif" width="35" height="47" alt="&nbsp;" /></td>
    <td class="cattitle" width="85%">
 <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a> 
<span class="smallfont">$forum[description]</span>
</td>
    <td class="cattitle" valign="top">
 
 <div align="right">
 <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cattitle_right.gif" width="35" height="47" alt="&nbsp;" /> 
</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="3">
 
<if condition="$childforumbits"> 
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="95%" align="center">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
 <tr align="center">
   <td class="thead" width="5%">&nbsp;</td>
   <td class="thead" width="45%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
           <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
   <td class="thead" width="30%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
   <td class="thead" width="10%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
   <td class="thead" width="10%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
   <if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">
   <td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
  </if>
  </tr>
$childforumbits 
</tbody> 
</table>
</if>
</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="catfooter"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/catfooter_left.gif" alt="&nbsp;" /></td>
    <td class="catfooter">&nbsp;</td>
    <td class="catfooter"><div align="right"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/catfooter_right.gif" alt="&nbsp;" /></div></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<!-- /top -->

It's not the table element at all. It's exactly what the error says - the element isn't allowed there. If you look right before the table, you'll see you closed a row:
HTML Code:
</tr>    <!-- / guest welcome message -->
    
<!-- top -->
<table class="forumbit1" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
Things in a table may only go between <td> tags. Somewhere along the way, you either dropped the next row tags or else you forgot to close the table.

check SHOWTHREAD to fix above issue

---------
TIPS

close all your <images> properly
HTML Code:
<img src="/streetrod/misc/cattitle_left.gif" width="35" height="47">
should be
HTML Code:
<img src="/streetrod/misc/cattitle_left.gif" width="35" height="47" />
(pay attention to the closing brackets)

do not use
HTML Code:
 background="/streetrod/misc/footer_top.gif"
use
HTML Code:
style="background: transparent url(/streetrod/misc/footer_top.gif)
do not use <center>, <font>
