Floats, by default, result in an image.

There are some exceptions, such as {tabular} within {table}.

The general override mechanism, to force interpretation of the contents
of the float within  <TABLE>...</TABLE> tags is to use the
\begin{makeimage}...\end{makeimage}  environment, from  html.sty,
to enclose that portion which needs to be an image.
Everything else is interpreted as normal.

To interpret *everything* in the float, use an empty {makeimage},
as follows:

\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{makeimage}
\end{makeimage}
\begin{tabularx}{...}{...}
 ...
 ...
 ...
\end{tabularx}
\caption{....}\label{....}
 ....
 ....
\end{table}

Use an empty {makeimage} environment, as described above.
Make sure you load  \usepackage{html}  so that the coding is valid
in LaTeX as well as LaTeX2HTML.

Yes; this is a possible hack.
Better is:

    /\\begin\s*($O\d+$C)\s*((super)?tabular\w*|longtable)\s*\1/))) {
                                           ^^^------  add this.

I'll put this into the next revision of latex2html.pin .

 
Hope this helps,
