HTML5 spec content model for table element says " Content model: In this order: optionally a caption element, followed by zero or more colgroup elements, followed optionally by a thead element, followed optionally by a tfoot element, followed by either zero or more tbody elements or one or more tr elements, followed optionally by a tfoot element (but there can only be one tfoot element child in total). " 4.9.1 The table element http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/tabular-data.html#the-table-element So, it seems to me that the chunk of HTML code above is INVALID HTML5. 64187 2 info 2012-02-16 20:15:12 +0000 I need to know for sure that the chunk of HTML code provided is INVALID HTML5.
