A typo, I meant nested. You need to indent that 
return statement coz just now its being seen as 
the return of your top level function.

Why bother? What does nesting give you over just 
defining them in the same module. OK, I know 
they give some namespace protection but it seems 
a marginal advantage here. Creating a Table class 
would be a better option IMHO. (Better still use one of the html generating
modules that are available
