Cannot put a DIV in a Link in a Token

Wondering why this is happening.

I have a Rich Text token that has a table with 1 row, 3 cells. I want the cells to be clickable so I'm using the standard method I would use in HTML: <td><a href><div style="height:100%;width:100%">My text</div></a>.

When I save the token, Marketo strips the link. I'm allowed to put the link directly around the text but not around the DIV.  Wondering why this is happening and if anyone else has experienced this or has a workaround.

Can you paste the actual HTML you put in the token here?

Would  <span style="display: block;"> work instead of the div?

    Yeah, <DIV> is not valid inside <A> until HTML5 and if this is an email you have to assume you're building for HTML4 renders (Outlook, for example, does not understand HTML5).

    It's for an LP actually.  I posted a description of the code...I'm wrapping the A around a DIV in a token but Marketo strips it out upon save.

    Hmm, I assume it's still for the same legacy HTML4 reason.  I thought I recalled that Justin said the new editor was supposed to be flexible w/this so try changing the template to an HTML5 DOCTYPE.
