That's a good question. I'm not sure what is the answer to your question. I'll do some investigation and get back to you if I bump into an answer. You should email the people at iPage as they probably could give you help..
You are missing </td> and </tr> all over the place. The fact that you got so few errors is probably because you confused hell out of the validator, as you would with most browsers. If you have more than one <body>...</body> that would also not allow correct validation..
That code is not even cles to be valid. End yur tags properly and try the validator again, it will probably Understand enough to give you useful errors..
The code has to at least resemble something valid before you acn expect the validator to help..
Cd&..
It's all too confusing for me..
With all of those line numbers I can not replicate the.
Table structure to visually see how your tables are nested..
And I easily lose track/count of which tables have been opened and closed..
What I can see is that you are opening numerous <TR>'s.
Without ever closing them. To validate properly, you.
Must.
Close all tags in the reverse order you have.
Opened them..
Also, here you have opened a <HR> without closing it:.
682: <hr width="70%">.
Which is immediately prior to your error report:.
Line 684, column 1: start tag was here (explain...)..
<TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH="100%" ALIGN=RIGHT>.
Please note:.
I have found when debugging validation.
Errors. That the line number the error is thrown for is not.
Necassarily the line the error is on. Generally, the error is.
The line immediately prior. Whereas, when debugging javascript.
Errors, the error is the line immediately following the line number.
The error indicates..
Try closing all of your tags and see if that doesn't help..
Also, using the find feature of Notepad. Count the <TABLE>'s.
You have opened, and then count the number of </TABLE>'s.
You have closed, to insure they are opened/closed properly..

Whoa!.
As said, you need to nest the elements, and close things in the reverse order to opening them..
Most Basic:.
<table>.
<tr> <td> .. </td> </tr>.
</table>.
Several cells in a row:.
<table>.
<tr> <td> .. </td> <td> .. </td> </tr>.
</table>.
Several rows, each with several cells in each row:.
<table>.
<tr> <td> .. </td> <td> .. </td> </tr>.
<tr> <td> .. </td> <td> .. </td> </tr>.
</table>.
The .. is where the content for the viewer goes...
Also, here you have opened a <HR> without closing it:.
682: <hr width="70%">.
Which is immediately prior to your error report:.
Line 684, column 1: start tag was here (explain...)..
Umm,.
<hr>.
Is a.
Horizontal rule.
(line) and does not need a closing tag (in HTML code)..
The error message (refer to post #1 in this thread) is actually saying that the.
</table>.
Tag is missing from line.
1082.
And that the opening.
<table>.
Tag that it is trying to match with was on line.
684.
Of the code...
Great! Finally cracked it. Actually it seems the <hr> tag should not be closed. But I closed all the <td> and <tr> ones, and I only need one closing table tag at the end, so w3.org must be happy with me now! Thanks...
Giz;.
I disagree. The.
<HR>.
Needs to be closed to validate..
Much the same as the.
<P>.
Tag needs to be closed..
Both of which are often ignored..
Then again, the o/p did not state which doctype he was.
Trying to validate..
