You have a bunch of <BR> tags that are in your table but outside any TDs=20
like for example:

<td>Family</td>
<td>NA</td><br>
</tr>

This is of course invalid HTML but my guess is it's causing your current=20
problem.  My CSE HTML Validator didn't even finish listing the errors=20
because there was too many, mostly the <BR> tags in invalid places and it=20
spots all the unquoted attributes since I myself make it mandatory to quote=
=20
all tag attributes.  I'm sure the BR tags are the culprit here though.

HTH!
