why do I get a warning IWAK0094E invalid location of tag (tr) on the opening <tr> tag

I use typically the following syntax (which I believe to be correct)
<table width=”100%” border=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”0″>
<tr>
<td height=”1074″ valign=”top”>
…
</td></tr></table>

Thanks

I get the same problem on some of my <tr> tags.

Tables are commonly written exactly are you have them <table><tr><td>…. However, according to the html spec all table rows <tr>’s are supposed to be contained within a <tbody> tag.

<table>
   <tbody>
      <tr>
         ...
      </tr>
   </tbody>
</table>

It is also better to use the <tbody> tag then you can take advantage of all of the html outline view features. ie, right-clicking a <tr> tag in the ouline view, lets you insert a row node <tr> before and after the current node. You won’t be able to do that if the table doesn’t have a <tbody>.

After reviewing this issue, we will not dismiss this as… “here is the spec”. We realize that hardly noone uses the <tbody> tags. We will look into this.

That’s why we allow you to disable HTML validation and it is off by default.

[schnall]

Note: html validation is not set (not in general properties nor on project level), yet I still see warnings.

🙁 I may have done something else that I don’t remember.

Even the default table template doesn’t have the <tbody> tags!

I would appreciate if the HTML validation would allow tables without the <tbody> tags since every browser does allow them as well.

Guys the permanent validation problem is a known bug that we will get worked out. Thank you for hanging in there.
