: Why is this Schema.org microdata markup wrong? I have a page listing multiple events in a table, so I have each one set as its own Event in microdata markup, as below: <div itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Event"&

@Heady270

To be validated it should look like:

<div itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Event">
<div>
<meta itemprop="name" content="your event's name" >
<link itemprop="url" href="http://www.example.com/your-events-website.html">
<meta itemprop="name" content="Really Cool Event">
<div itemprop="location" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Place">
<a href="#"><span itemprop="name">Hooville</span></a>
<div itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress">
<meta itemprop="addressLocality" content="Hootown, USA">
</div>
</div>
<div><span itemprop="startDate" content="2015-12-25">25th</span> - <span itemprop="endDate" content="2015-12-30">30th December 2015</span></div>
<div itemprop="offers" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Offer" id="price" class="text-success">
<meta itemprop="name" content="your offer's name" >
<link itemprop="url" href="http://www.example.com/your-offers-website.html">
<span itemprop="price" content="1000"><strong>00</strong></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Your table markup is not valid (a div can’t contain a tr, a tr can’t contain a meta).

If you fix it, Google’s testing tool seems to recognize it fine.

A quick way for testing this (but you shouldn’t publish like that): replace the tr and td elements with div.
