I think you might want to double check your HTML standards, </tr> & </td>
are certainly not "optional" tags.

This is incorrect also. I use "&" all the time in dynamic programming for
href:
search&db=somedatabase.db&eqskudatarq=1&...
I _never_ use & in the href because _that_ breaks my search context.
