Hi,
> <xsl:template match="/">
> <html>
> <head><title>Web app. list</title></head>
> <body>
> <xsl:for-each select="webapps/website">
> <table border="1" summary="Web Application Table">
> <tr>

> <td><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></td>
> </tr>
> <xsl:apply-templates/>
Here you ask to process all the child nodes, including the language element
> </table>
> </xsl:for-each>
> </body>
> </html>
> </xsl:template>
>
> <xsl:template match="address">
and this will match the address elements
> <tr>
> <td>URL:</td>
> <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
> </tr>
> </xsl:template>
but you don't have a template to match the language element. Thus, the build-in template is used to process it, see <http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#built-in-rule>. The result is that a text node "PHP" will be added to the result tree, without tr and td element wrappers. The HTML DTD doesn't allow PCDATA inside table, thus browser error recovery kicks in; Mozilla recovers by outputting the PCDATA after the table, IE before.
You can fix your stylesheet by either selecting only the elements you want to process in the / template, i.e.
<xsl:apply-templates select="address" />
or be adding a template to match the language element and output nothing in it.
<xsl:template match="language"/>
It usually/always helps in debugging if you use a command-line XSLT processor, or an IDE like Xselerator to see what the output is, instead of just looking at the HTML renderation on a browser.
