Your web page passed the validator you'll be pleased to hear TAE and you can apparently attach this button to the website

I did try to post the 86 lines of Microsoft Equivalent Crap, but there were apparently too many images for urban to cope with .

Yeah I use that validator every time I publish something in HTML.

By the way ... what's the big deal with tables?

I hear all the time "don't use tables too much".

Tables are for displaying tabular data (race results, comparison charts - anything that can be expressed in two dimensions). They are not there as a convenient way to get things to line up on the page - the layout should be controlled with CSS.

Doing it that way also makes maintenance easier, as if you want to move stuff around you don't need to wrestle with a bunch of nested tables, just change your CSS file.

Can't argue with that.
