<!ELEMENT TABLE - -
(CAPTION?, (COL*|COLGROUP*), THEAD?, TFOOT?, TBODY+)>
You've used a THEAD, but an optional TFOOT and one or more TBODY
elements is required to follow.
<table>
<thead>
...
</thead>
<tbody>
<!-- one or more of these elements must be present -->
...
</tbody>
</table>
You could just change the thead to tbody in your case, since you're
using the table for layout instead of marking up tabular data, but I'd
recommend you remove the table and learn to use CSS for layout and
presentation instead.
