1 hard validation error left and I will be w3c validated. Its a tr ending problem. Very hard!

Question

Just recently i started to validate the script for html 4.01 strict and ran into a hard coding problem..
On the home.html
A line of code says
</td>
{if ($smarty.foreach.videos.index+1)%$cols==0}</tr><tr>{/if}
{/foreach}
</tr></table>
<br>
{$pagination}
This code throws a validation error  on line  645 which says this
Line 645, Column 7: end tag for "TR" which is not finished
Line 642 through 645 say this on html source when grabbing the source code from my website
</table>
</td>
</tr><tr>
</tr></table>
I think that the problem may be that its blank between a <tr> and </tr>, but i am not sure how to fix this or if this is even the problem.  The coding above generates the </tr><tr> and it's generated an extra one for no reason.

Answer 1

I solved it.
I realized that, because it was generating <tr> and then trying to close </tr> </table> I had to place  <td> </td> in between them.  A simple fix yet it took me a while to figure that out lol.  I guess you can easily overlook something like this easily when you didn't write all of it.
