Hehe..its not really a bug.  Lynx is doing the "Right Thing", ie, obeying
the RFC's as best it can, whereas most other browsers don't.

If I remember correctly, there is an RFC or something somewhere that
states always open and close tags in sequence.  The table should either be
inside the form or the form inside the table. Ie, like this:

        {form}
        {table}
        {/table}
        {/form}
