There was no need to copy the entire error message, but it usually helps
if you provide a URL of the document you are trying to validate.

Like it says, there is no attribute "HEIGHT" for the table element. It
is not defined in any standardised HTML DTD, it is an proprietary extension.
All those attributes can be replaced with CSS, leaving just a simple
<table> element in your markup:
table { height: 100%; width 100%; border-collapse: collapse; }
table td { padding: 0; }
Though, if you are actually using the table for layout purposes (as it
appears from the presentational attributues you've used), and it isn't
actually marking up tabular data of any kind, don't use a table. Use
more semantic and well structured markup and apply all presentation with
CSS.
