What is "below functionality" ? You've posted some code, but not told
us what you expect it to do. Why doesn't that (or at least valid HTML
table made by replacing your <div> with <table>) already work for you?

It has no functionality, so the way to duplicate its functionality is
not to do it. What did you think it would do?
