It renders correctly in several browsers I have checked and passes validation checks. But it seems incorrect. Should the number of TD elements be the same in every row?

Possibly a redundant and useless question, but my colleagues and I refer to <% %> as server tags, but is there an actual name for them? one i've seen used is calling them Alcohol tags. Edited based on answers We're referring to them in ASP.NET, but I would've thought they'd use the same name across all languages if they did the same j...
