<span> but not...

Hi,

I need to wrap a table with a tag, in theory I can use most tags and they work, but when I go to w3c validater it throws errors saying I can't wrap a table, e.g.

 

<span>
<table>
<tr><td></td></tr>
</table>
</span>

 

I've tried <p>, <b> and a few others but basically the same error...

 

Anybody know a way?

You cannot put block elements inside inline elements. Tables are block elements, spans are inline elements. This is where your problem comes from.

 

Just apply whatever CSS it is that you have to the table directly. There should be no reason to wrap it in the span. If it still seems to you that there is a reason to wrap it in the span, give us some more details and we can point you in the direction you need to go so that you don't need the span.
