Help with errors from http://validator.w3.org

[jakenoble]

Hi

I have this page http://www.jakenoblewebs.co.uk/Pages/jake_noble.php .

I am validating it here http://validator.w3.org/ .

I have this error every time, "Line 22, column 30: document type does not allow element "table" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag
<table width="20%" id="tables">"

I have looked at the "EXPLAIN" section but i cannot work it out, i have tried all different combinations of ID="XYZ" and NAME="XYZ"

I would really like some help on this. Feel free to look at my site and give me some feedback also.

I am only validation the homepage at the moment, so just ignore the code on the other pages.

span elements may only contain inline level elements, and tables are block level elements. So, you can't wrap it in a span, like to do:

20: <span class="ntable">
21: <b>News Items</b>
22: <table width="20%" id="tables">

Why don't you use a div instead of a span?
