Help with HTML validation error: Table column has no cells beginning in it

Please help me with this validation error. I can't understand what it means or what's not standards complaint with my HTML.

I'll repost it here since hopefully I'll fix it and that link will no longer work:

Table column 2 established by element td has no cells beginning in it.

…="tooltip_table"><tr><td colspan="2">20 yd range</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"
                                     ↑
Solution

  • HTML 5.2 Draft: Section 4.9.12.1 Forming a table

    http://w3c.github.io/html/tabular-data.html#forming-a-table

    Step 22: If there exists a row or column in the table containing only slots that do not have a cell anchored to them, then this is a table model error.
