As written, your code places a table cell inside a div.  If you view
the rendered source of your page (using Firebug or IE Web Developer
Toolbar, for instance) you will likely see that you have this:

   <tr>
     <div id="existingSiteOption"><td>Hello World!</td></div>
   </tr>

Which isn't valid HTML (because you have a DIV inside a TR but not
inside a TD, and nested inside that is a TD whose parent is not a TR.

Fixing that may fix your layout problem.
