Ok, your problem starts here:
Code: 
Response.Write(&quot;<TR WIDTH=&quot;760&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;40&quot;>&quot;)

When the server sees this line it sees The first quote then sees the next quote and thinks your ending the string:
Code: 
Response.Write(
Code: 
&quot;<TR WIDTH=&quot;
Code: 
760&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;40&quot;>&quot;)

What you need to do is either switch those inner quotes to single quotes, like so:
Code: 
Response.Write(&quot;<TR WIDTH='760' HEIGHT='40'>&quot;)

Escape them with the escape character for quotes (in this case two double quotes) like so:
Code: 
Response.Write(&quot;<TR WIDTH=&quot;&quot;760&quot;&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;&quot;40&quot;&quot;>&quot;)

Or insert the character code for the quote like so:
Code: 
Response.Write(&quot;<TR WIDTH=&quot; & Chr(34) & &quot;760&quot; & Chr(34) & &quot; HEIGHT=&quot; & Chr(34) & &quot;40&quot; & Chr(34) & &quot;>&quot;)

you will need to fix all the Response.Write's you have that have inner quotes before this will work.

Other than that it looks good, including the fact that your using my favorite editor to write it in ;)
