Question

Can somebody tell me whether div inside a table is allowed or not according to w3c

You can t put a div directly inside a table  like this    lt  -- INVALID -- gt   lt table gt     lt div gt      Hello World    lt  div gt   lt  table gt    Putting a div inside a td or th element is fine  however    lt  -- VALID -- gt   lt table gt     lt tr gt       lt td gt         lt div gt          Hello World        lt  div gt       lt  td gt     lt  tr gt   lt  table gt

While you can  as others have noted here  put a DIV inside a TD  not as a direct child of TABLE   I strongly advise against using a DIV as a child of a TD  Unless  of course  you re a fan of headaches   There is little to be gained and a whole lot to be lost  as there are many cross-browser discrepancies regarding how widths  margins  borders  etc   are handled when you combine the two  I can t tell you how many times I ve had to clean up that kind of markup for clients because they were having trouble getting their HTML to display correctly in this or that browser    Then again  if you re not fussy about how things look  disregard this advice
