Stray end tag “tr” and 1 column wide errors
Question
Just starting some HTML5 scripting for my assignment at school. I'm done writing it, however I am encountering 2 errors when submitting my file to http://validator.w3.org/
- A table row was 1 columns wide, which is less than the column count established by the first row (6).
- Stray end tag tr.
I also have another error for the border of my table, but my prof said to ignore that error. I am trying to produce the following: https://postimg.org/image/ruv1y0vb1/
I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.
Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

You only have one element, but looking at your indentation there are two nested levels of . Fix the indentation and the stray will make itself obvious.

Some comments based on the code you posted: You have mixed up tr and td tags. You need to create another table inside the td tag and then have the rest of the code inside that tag. Never mix tags.
<table border = "1"> <tr> <td colspan = "6"> <h1> Some Canadian Provinces </h1> </td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan = "7"> </td> <!--You need to create a td tag here and add another table --> <td> <table> <tr> <th> Province </th> <td> Quebec </td> <td> Ontario </td> <td> British Columbia </td> <td> Alberta </td> </tr> . . . </table> </td> </tr> </table>
Thereafter check the colspan and rowspan properties, and adjust accordingly.
