i am merely checking code provided by another enterprise, so i have no
influence about
the DTD.
i personally use xhtml 1.0 :-)

the code used is:

<table>...
<tr>...
<TD class=leftNav vAlign=top>

and the document you pointed out to shows valign to be allowed in:

COL, COLGROUP, TBODY, TD, TFOOT, TH, THEAD, TR 

so, it appears to be a validator bug? or does the validator not check for
html 4.0 anymore but uses
html 4.01 instead? i am asking because i am quite sure that valign is not
allowed in there anymore.
