    W3 Validation

    Briansol very kindly checked our our site last night and pointed out a few erros, been a total html noob I would like to ask for some help on making sure that some errors are removed.

    This is my footer template and I ask anyone if they can check for validation errors.

    Code:
    <br />
<div align="center"><ad what="zone:6" /></div>  
<br /><div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>
<div align="center"><br />
  
  $spacer_close
    <!-- /content area table -->
  

  

  

    </td>
    </p>
</div>
<td style="width: 16px; background-color: #FFFFFF;">&nbsp;</td>
        
      </table></td>
    <td valign="top" style="width: 164px; background-image: url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/sidebar_bg.gif);"><br />
      <table border="0" align="right" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 155px;">
        <tr>
          <td class="topboxheader" style="width: 155px; height: 31px; background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/sidebar_menu_bg.gif);"><div style="padding-left: 10px;">test </div> </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>

    without the full code, that will be impossible. you have closing table cells in there, but we have no idea where they were opened in the first place (if at all)
