As you posted to an XML group, I assume that the above is XHTML, not 
HTML. In the case of HTML, the tbody element would be there implicitly, 
even if you did not write it in your code. In the case of XHTML, it 
would not be there.

In general: for HTML use HTML tools, for XHTML use XML tools.

If you have problems with HTML, post to an HTML group.
