nested html tables causes w3c compliant error

Hi!

I have removed most of the text below for readibility.

When I run the w3c validator against this code I only get one error, but the solution is eluding me.

Here is the error:

document type does not allow element "TABLE" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag
...le width="348" align="center" border="0" id="table4">
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<table cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="600" align="center" border="0" id="table1">
<tr>
<td>
<table class="outerborder" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="600" align="center" bgColor="#ffffff" border="0" id="table2">
       <tr>
       <td align="center">

                   <tr>
                        <td><font size="2">95% to 100%</font></td>
                        <td><font size="2">0%</font></td>

       </tr>
                     <tr>

                 </tr>

all font types/size/colors etc should be put in a css style and linked to the cell or table by class.
You have a lot of code here that could and should be put in css.
