Validation Mystery

"empty container element"?

[fashezee]

I validated my site and received the following error message:

Error: empty container element <TD>.

Not sure whatis means?

Odd, I just had to validate some pages with empty table cells for xhtml 1.1 and the validator had no problem.

For which dtd are you trying to validate for?

It does not tell me what DTD. I tested my site out on echoecho.com?

What attributes should the <TD> and <TR> tags have generally?

[DrDoc]

What he means is: Which DOCTYPE are you using, specified in the beginning of your document?

Also, with "empty" .. are we talking about empty as in no content (<td></td>) or empty as in no attributes (<td>Blah</td>)?

Just a guess, but you probably need to put something inside the <td> elements. This usually works: <td>&nbsp;</td>
