What I mean by overlapping or missing tags is that you can't for instance
have the following:
</table>
</table>

Under no circumstances is the above valid html.  You are missing some tags.
If a table is inside of another table, it must be inside of cell tags
(<td></td>).  Until you get that cleared up, you're not going to be able to
produce any trustworthy results.  Your browser "may" display it ok because
it assumes where the closing tags should be, but it is not a good idea to
rely on browsers to properly display invalid code.
