Help to validate document as XHTML 1.0 (newbie question)

[iv4o]

Hi, i try to validate my site and im almost dune. I have left 5 errors !! They reallty drive me crazzy and make me really unhappy......

What the validator return is :

1. Error document type does not allow element X here; missing one of Y start-tag

✉

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.

One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
* Line 124, column 67: document type does not allow element "table" here; missing one of "th", "td" start-tag

…"100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

* Line 127, column 79: document type does not allow element "table" here; missing one of "th", "td" start-tag

…nter" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

* Line 1321, column 70: document type does not allow element "table" here; missing one of "th", "td" start-tag

…0%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">


Here is the part of my code where i receice the errors :

 <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="20" >
    <tr>
      <td valign="top" style="border: 1px solid #CCD7E0; background-color: #FFFFFF;" class="shadow2" />
	  <!-- {LOGIN_FORM} -->

	   <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
		<tr>
    <td valign="top" align="left" id="content_frame" />			
	<table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
            <a href="index.php"><img src="themes/water_drop/images/logo.png" border="0" alt="" /></a> 
<br /><br />
			{ADMIN_MENU} 
</td> 
</tr> 
 </table>
          <table width="100%">
            <tr> 
             <td width="150" valign="top" align="center" bgcolor="white" /> 
                <table width="150" border="0" bgcolor="white">                         
                  <tr> 
                    <td width="150">{SYS_MENU} <hr /> {SUB_MENU} 
                    </td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
              <td>{GALLERY} 
</td>
</tr>
</table>
       <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> 
	<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top">		  
{LANGUAGE_SELECT_FLAGS}
			  {THEME_SELECT_LIST}{LANGUAGE_SELECT_LIST}	 
			  </td>
	  </tr>
       </table>
</tr>
       </table> 	
  </tr>
</table>

and here:

 </table>
          <table width="100%">
            <tr>

The td tag can never be self closing. Replace all 3:

  />

with:

>

Here add the highlighted missing </td> tag:

<p align="left"><a href="http://www.htmldog.com/"><img src="http://www.htmldog.com/badge3.gif" width="88" height="31" border="0" alt="HTML and CSS tutorials, references, and articles" /></a></p>

                    </tr>
                </table>
</td>
              <td>
<!-- Start standard table -->
<table align="center" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="maintable">
        <tr>
                <td class="table

Same thing here:
