really weird html - was "extract() help"

I replaced extract() with $row[] - much better. Now I have the strangest thing happening - the <td align="right"> html formatting only applies to the first iteration in the loop, even though it shows up in the html source!! regard, jaxon html generation: ---------------- for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) { $sql="select stuff from table"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $link_id); $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); echo " <tr><td><h3>$row[2]</h3></td></tr> <tr><td><h4>$row[3]</h4></td></tr> <tr><td align=\"right\"><h6>$row[1]</h6></td></tr> <tr><td>$row[4]</td></tr> <tr><td align=\"right\"><a href=\"news.php?#$row[0]\"><h5>...more</h5></a></td></tr> <hr /> "; echo "</table>"; } resultant source: ----------------- <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td><h3>First Headline</h3></td></tr> <tr><td><h4>first subtitle</h4></td></tr> <tr><td align="right"><h6>2001-02-24</h6></td></tr> <tr><td>get it right here now... this is the place to be, I tell you</td></tr> <tr><td align="right"><a href="news.php?#1"><h5>...more</h5></a></td></tr> <tr><td><hr /></tr></td> </table> <tr><td><h3>SECOND HEADLINE!</h3></td></tr> <tr><td><h4>second subtitle</h4></td></tr> <tr><td align="right"><h6>0000-00-00</h6></td></tr> <tr><td>even more good stuff coming out of our second news item!!!</td></tr> <tr><td align="right"><a href="news.php?#2"><h5>...more</h5></a></td></tr> <tr><td><hr /></tr></td> </table> <tr><td><h3>HEADLINE 3!!!</h3></td></tr> <tr><td><h4>subtitle 3</h4></td></tr> <tr><td align="right"><h6>2001-02-26</h6></td></tr> <tr><td>getcha third item here!!</td></tr> <tr><td align="right"><a href="news.php?#3"><h5>...more</h5></a></td></tr> <tr><td><hr /></tr></td> </table>
