xsl not formatting xml correctly in mozilla or firefox

Hi everyone

This is my first post to the list and as you will guess I am a newbie
when it comes to xsl

I have a very specific problem to overcome. I have been developing an
app based aroung Perl, C++, cgi and we are now extending it to xml.

In a simple example (pasted below) I am trying to format an xml table
with xsl in mozilla and/or firefox (everything to date I have developed
works in these two browsers apart from xsl). The example is formatting
correctly in IE so I think this may be a mozilla bug, but not sure.

In mozilla and firefox (both the latest versions from Gentoo sources) I
get ...

ForenameSurnameage metal mickey 21 hey bukko 99 experts exchange 10

In IE I get a correctly formatted table with a border around it (what I
would expect)

Any Ideas would be warmly welcomed. I have wasted many hours on this
already.

Thanks

Andy
