BAD CODE!!!

In your case it's the code from the "agora.cgi" script.

Look at your source html and find the fooling lines:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    <tr><td colspan=3><table width="100%" border=1>
    <tr><td width="50%" valign="top"><FORM METHOD = "post" ACTION =
"agora.cgi">

    <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "cart_id" VALUE = "8417904.14922*Vw6Yf4">
    <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "page" VALUE = "">
    <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "product" VALUE = "Earrings">
    <table width=100%>

    </TR>
    <TR WIDTH="100%">
    <TD ALIGN="CELTER" valign="top" WIDTH="100%">
    <FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">
    <b>Maureen Earrings</b>
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You are missing these: "</tr></td>"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    <tr><td colspan=3><table width="100%" border=1>
    <tr><td width="50%" valign="top"><FORM METHOD = "post" ACTION =
"agora.cgi">

    <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "cart_id" VALUE = "8417904.14922*Vw6Yf4">
    <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "page" VALUE = "">
    <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "product" VALUE = "Earrings">
>>>></tr></td>
    <table width=100%>

    </TR>
    <TR WIDTH="100%">
    <TD ALIGN="CENTER" valign="top" WIDTH="100%">
    <FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">
    <b>Maureen Earrings</b>
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NOTE: A syntax check using BBEdit came up with over 115 errors in your code,
most are minor, but the table code produced a "Warning". -chuck
