479: <table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

 480: <thead>

 481: 	

 482: 	<!-- guest welcome message -->

 483: 	<tr>

 484: 		<td class="tcat" align="center" colspan="6">Welcome to the Thunderbird Talk.</td>

 485: 	</tr>

 486: 	<tr>

 487: 		<td class="alt1" colspan="6">

I'm getting Line 496, column 7: end tag for "table" which is not finished but I can't figure out why. Maybe I've just been looking at this too long...

I just open the DTD of XHTML 1.0 strict and the definition of the TABLE element is :

code:

<!ELEMENT table

     (caption?, (col*|colgroup*), thead?, tfoot?, (tbody+|tr+))>

[edit]And here goes the definition of the TABLE element in HTML 4.01

code:

<!ELEMENT TABLE - -

     (CAPTION?, (COL*|COLGROUP*), THEAD?, TFOOT?, TBODY+)>

[/edit]

So, YES there should be at leat a TBODY, or some TR ( as direct children of the TABLE element ) in a TABLE element.
