If i load up a Item to Validator with a Table and the Code of the Homepage is <table> <tr> <td> Zeile 1 - Spalte 1 <td> | ! <td> Zeile 1 - Spalte 2 </td> ... <td> Zeile 1 - Spalte n </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Zeile 2 - Spalte 1 </td> <td> Zeile 2 - Spalte 2 </td> ... <td> Zeile 2 - Spalte n </td> </tr> ... <tr> <td> Zeile m - Spalte 1 </td> <td> Zeile m - Spalte 2 </td> ... <td> Zeile m - Spalte n </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> the Validator do not show the fault in the 3 line.
That's because there is no fault in the 3rd line. Closing <td> elements is optional in HTML, thus you're first row is perfectly valid. It just has one cell more than the others.
