Note that http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/ points to the HTML 4.01
specification, not the 4.0 for which you use the DTD (as a matter of
fact I strongly suggest you use HTML4.01 rather than the one you're
using).

As for your problem, without the HTML code the validator
claims is invalid I can't tell you more than "check
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/index/attributes.html
for the list of tags with which you are allowed to use the valign
attribute".
