I haven't run your code, but a quick inspection shows me that you're trying to align things with ' '. Experience tells me that this is a poor way to do it. What you really want is a number of '<td>' per row, to form actual columns. If you need these columns to be a fixed width, you should make them look like '<td width="50">' (in pixels) or '<td width="10%">' (in percentage width of the screen). You can also specify how wide the whole table is by saying '<table width="numeric_percentage_or_pixels" ...>'

Keep in mind that columns must be accounted for in each row, so if you want a row to have 5 columns, and then the next row to only have three, then you may need to use '<td colspan="2">' for a couple of the table data cells in the second row.

I think that you may benefit from reading up on some HTML formatting guidlines, perhaps on w3schools.com.
