You're calling the methods open_row, open_table, etc. but in your Table class definition you called them row_open, table_open, etc.! That's not going to work.

Plus everything Fastolfe said.

Besides, you have a real mess in your methods: some of them call print to print out your table tags, and others simply return values. That's not going to work--decide on one or the other and stick to it. If I were you I'd have all my methods return data rather than printing it out, because it's more flexible that way.

So, for example, your row_open method prints out "<tr>", but then you set a value using the "name" method, then attempt to do something with it, and the name method just returns that value. And you don't do anything with it.
