Can someone tell me what the issue is with this:

code:
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">

 491: 		</td>

 492: 	</tr>

 493: 	<!-- / guest welcome message -->

 494: 	

 495: </thead>

 496: </table>



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...

If you use THEAD I'm fairly certain you need to use TBODY and TFOOT as well

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.

Ah. Ok. That did it. I didn't really need the thead anyways (it's not my code I'm working with). I commented that thead tags out and it validated fine....
