You already got a lot of answers to that, one explaining that the formal
definition for the <table> element in XHTML Basic doesn't define an
attribute named width. As the validator uses the formal definition (the
DTD) there is nothing wrong with the validator.

Did you also tried to specify the table width in your style sheet,
instead of the xhtml page?

Yes, add
table
in your *external* and the page will validate. Not that in Basic all CSS
*must* be in a external file.
