1. You want to use %% to escape a percent sign, rather than /%.
2. You missed at least one trailing 's' on a '%(foo)s' block

Try this:

"""
<td width="1%%">			
 <input type=radio value="%(fullname)s****%(isdir)s" name=radioName>
 <IMG height=17 hspace=2 src="ezmedia/window/filephotoicon.jpg"
width=19>
 </td>																				
 <td>
<div class="menucontents"><a href="%(fullname)s">%(name)s</a></div>
  </td>																				
 <td width="10%%">
<div class="menucontents">%(ext)s</div>				
 </td>																				
 <td width="15%%">
<div class="menucontents">%(size)s</div>			
 </td>																				
 <td width="22%%">						
 <div class="menucontents">%(modified)s</div>
 </td>
</tr>
"""
