guys c xml
Thanks for u'r reply guys.

But the thing is that it'll be a little time consuming
if I've to change the things in my XML document.
Because I'm pulling it directly from a huge database
which has thousands of entries.

Second thing is when I tried to use <xsl:template
match> instead of <xsl:for-each select>,I get the data
from my xml file which I'm not even selecting in  my
stylesheet to be displayed.That data is being
displayed randomly along with other data.

Regards and thanks a lot for all the help,
Puja
