RE: Error on HTML4 TH ID and TD HEADERS page

Gian,
The HTML4 errata page suggests an address to send error reports to: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html4-updates/errata

Worth noting that the last errata posted was 13 years ago, so you may have an uphill climb...

Subject: Error on HTML4 TH ID and TD HEADERS page

Below we mark up the travel expense table with category information:
