XML/XHTML Problem

[J-o-h-n-n-y]

OK, so I have this peice of code. It is a TPL style file, part of my phpBB Forum:

<!-- BEGIN switch_inline_mode -->
<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" width="70%" class="forumline">
<tr>
<td class="catHead" height="28" align="center"><b><span class="cattitle">{L_TOPIC_REVIEW}</span></b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="row1"><iframe width="70%" height="300" src="{U_REVIEW_TOPIC}" >
<!-- END switch_inline_mode -->
<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" width="70%" class="forumline">
<tr>
<th class="thCornerL" width="22%" height="26">{L_AUTHOR}</th>
<th class="thCornerR">{L_MESSAGE}</th>
</tr>
<!-- BEGIN postrow -->
<tr>
<td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="{postrow.ROW_CLASS}"><span class="name"><b>{postrow.POSTER_NAME}</b></span></td>
<td class="{postrow.ROW_CLASS}" height="28" valign="top">
<table width="70%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img src="{postrow.MINI_POST_IMG}" width="12" height="9" alt="{postrow.L_MINI_POST_ALT}" title="{postrow.L_MINI_POST_ALT}" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">{L_POSTED}: {postrow.POST_DATE}<span class="gen">&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{L_POST_SUBJECT}: {postrow.POST_SUBJECT}</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><hr /></td>

<tr>
<td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">{postrow.MESSAGE}</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>
</tr></table>
<!-- END postrow -->
</table>
<!-- BEGIN switch_inline_mode -->
</iframe></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- END switch_inline_mode -->

The problem is that the W3C Validator (http://validator.w3.org/) comes up with an error for the parts I've put in bold. All three of them are:

"End tag for XXX which is not open."

When, if you look at the code, it is open.

This is for a rather important part of my site, and it almost NEEDS to be in Valid XHTML, and so I'd appreciate any help.

7th line no td end..I stopped there

7th line no td end..I stopped there

There is, a new table starts there (inside that td). If you look at where the new table ends, the close td comes after that.

Still in the posted code I count 15 <?td>....either you missed an opening td or a close

Ah, yes, you are right. I'll see what is missing...
