validating html

delfa

I´ve been trying to make my web page using the W3C MarkUp Validation Service I simply can´t make that xhtml code valid.

and the errors are so weird, for example this ones:

Line 180, column 29: there is no attribute "id" (explain...). 
        <TABLE WIDTH="100%" id="border">
                               ^
Line 180, column 37: element "TABLE" undefined (explain...). 
        <TABLE WIDTH="100%" id="border">
                                       ^

😕

I know this is offtopic, but since I use php to get data from db, I think that has a lot of influence.

Do u have any suggestion?

I dont think you can use id any more.

You must have it lower case as well

so this is invalid
<TABLE>

must be <table>

Can't use the id attribute? That would kill the DOM... it's the "name" attribute that has been deprecated in anticipation of being dropped (section 4.10 of the XHTML spec). However, it is true that element and attribute names are all lower case (section 4.2).

So using lowercase element names should fix things.
