Page doesn't show in Design view

I went to view > source and copied/pasted the html code from a website into
Dreamweaver. Although the page looks correct when previewed in a web browser,
in shows up all black in design view. the only thing visible is this text
highlighted in yellow:

</td>
</tr>

If I copy/paste the html code from any other website, the design view shows up
normally. The problem is only with the pages on this particular site:
http://www.obviate.us
what is the problem and how do I fix this??

old code... above is the code as it should be.

i don't see where the mistake was - would you be able to highlight it to show
me?

i copied the new code into Dreamweaver - although it appears in design view,
now most of the page content is missing. only the header bar and some of the
links appear when i preview it in a browser.

still need help...can anyone figure this out? someone suggested it may be a CSS issue but i don't understand how that works or how to fix it...
Please, I'm desperate!

More likely that it's an issue with the badly hosed HTML markup in the
page. See: http://tinyurl.com/asga9
