NOT understanding the HTML

Hi,

I was about to modify the header.thtml of the professional theme when I realized that the HTML looked odd to me. However, validating it revealed to me that it mus be correct. Nevertheless, I would like to understand what if going on here:

Text Formatted Code

<body>
<table width="99%" align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="header-envelope">
  <tr>
    <td>
        <table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="header-navigation-container">
            <tr><td align="left" valign="middle" class="header-navigation">{menu_elements}</td></tr>
        </table>
  <tr><td width="100%">


 

Ok, first we start a table, first TD. Inside the TD, there is a table with the menu. Fine so far, the table is closed. But then, inside the TD, after the Table is closed, you start a TR? How? Is this correct? Should there be not anoter /TD and /TR before that?

thanks

Thanks for helping.

However, I did this already, as mentioned above. Anyhow I am talking here not about changes I made. I am talking about the HTML as it is in the standard version.

Think about how a &lt;P&gt; tag implies a closing &lt;/P&gt; on the previous paragraph.

TR or TD do the same, so your &lt;TR&gt; implies the closing tags.

It's sloppy, but legal HTML.

Ok, got it. I thought that the W3C validator would not let that go through...

thanks
