Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. 

In my latex file, I used only \lhead, \chead and \rhead commands from
fancyhdr.
When I first ran latex2html on it, I thought it would do something like
placing the arguments of the \lhead,\chead and \rhead commands
 in a table with one row and three columns. But
then when I saw the manual, I noticed that the fancyhdr package is not
supported.
