PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 The missing </table> tag is what is causing your most immediate problem. But if you are trying for a XHTML strict doctype, you need to work on the missing <body> tag, the UPPER-CASE tags, and everything else in the HTML output that is resulting in 28 Errors and 2 warning(s) at the w3.org validator.
