Mike,

Thanks for your time. I am sorry that was typo from my
end. I did have the CDATA section.

I have tried this too. The xml/xsl I sent are repro of
the real problem. I mean to say the <Customers>/<data>
contains more than 5000 bytes. So to process this big
string I didnt had any other option except using
Javascript. In actual the loop in the Javascript code
I sent executes 200 times.

If you think otherwise about my situation, I would
appreciate your valuable suggestions.

Thanks
Nischal
