Try running the page through the W3C Validator. You'll learn that the page
has numerous problems. For example, right at the start the <title> appears
before the <head> tag. The very first <script> tag is malformed. At line 63
the validator complains about a closing </a> tag without a corresponding
opening <a> tag. Given that the offending element is embedded inside a
block of JavaScript I'd say that's a pretty strong indication that the page
is malformed. Let's see, what else. Well, there's a <form> embedded in a
table at line 136. That's not legal. There are lots of closing </font> tags
without a corresponding opening <font> tag.  Etcetera.

The author of that page either needs to spend some time reading a good book
on HTML or switch to a better HTML authoring tool.
