Jesus christ that code is a state 
I think you'll be able to fix it by inserting a another <tr> after line 29, but can't be 100% sure

I can't view the HTML but if you want to validated it you shouldn't really be using witdth tags, you should define it in CSS either in a style sheet or in a style tag. The first error is basically saying that the doc type (XHTML Strict/Transitional or whatever) doesn't use those tags.

The problem is to do with the main "body text" section - i.e. where "Welcome to Protect Your Piece" starts - I think the problem is your Main Categories box on the main part of the page.

<td width="100%">
The style (width) should be dealt with in CSS either in an external CSS stylesheet or just through using the style tag:
<td style="width:100%">

If we're getting picky too, you shouldn't really use tables for layout like that...

As has been said already, i have no html exp etc, all i have used is an oscommerce store, then added contributions, and some small edits.
So all the code, layout etc is standard, or as modified by the contributions (all of which are the big main ones)
The store isnt really expected to take mega bucks, its simple, works, and is doing an ok job tbh, i cannot afford anything more yet

Why do you want the code to validate anyway?
If it looks ok across all browsers (which I am assuming it does) it wouldn't worry me whether it does or doesn't validate too much.

Creating valid code is important! If there are guidelines on how to do something, then why do it another way? Most validation errors are missing bits of HTML which are needed for the document to render correctly...

It should be <td />
A terminating HTML tag always ends like this /> and there is meant to be a space between the tag name and the />

Just fixing that should get it to validate actually.

Yes, it's not like Microsoft care about minor things like W3C standards.

and it helps search engines like google index the page, as it doesn't fall over errors in the code.

Still getting there with this.
Started doing bits each day to help my seo.
Ive now acheived a rank of 1/10, and got a few keywords in top 10. These are only low searched words (10-30 per day), but there is hardly any competition compared to the big words. So hopefully i can get my way to the top of these and capture some of this traffic
