Looking at the code you've posted:

You have a table, and the nesting looks like you intended to put the <tr> inside it.

However, the table is closed on the same line as it is started, so the <tr> is actually outside the table, after it.

Find the closing </table> tag, and move it to where it should be, after the rest of the code that is meant to be inside the table.

[EDIT]
Okay, you've now fixed that in the code in the question.

The next problem I can see is that your table tag has the following:

border-width:2px;"cellspacing ="0"
                ^^^
          missing space here

The missing space before the cellspacing attribute will cause the tag to be invalid, which could also be breaking it.

For further HTML validation, I recommend you put your HTML code through the W3C's validator, which will highlight any further issues you may have with your HTML.
