    The validator is showing an erroneous <tr> element prior to the <script> error. I would correct the <tr> and validate again. That's if it is the site in your sig. ;)

    Don't use html validator, you will never get perfect results.

    That's a load of crap! If you can't write HTML that validates, that's a skills problem, not the validators problem.

    You should try at least to validate. Code is code, there is absolutly no reason tags should not balance. Using the validator at w3c will guarantee you alot of compatibility and save you lot's of time.

    The tag actually is in the right place! all it says it tag not allowed here. I suppose it thinks a script tag should only be allowed in the head...

    So anyone get the same problem with the script tag for google adsense?

    Your <tr> at Line 168 is in the wrong place.

    Account</u></a>?</span></td>
    	</tr>
    	[color=red]<tr>[/color]
    [color=red]		 <tr>[/color]
    			<td class="main">
    <br><br>
    
    Code (markup):
    It belongs further down the code segment.

    Also try wrapping your <script> block in a <tr><td> block which should validate.
