Jon,

Thanks a lot! I made all the changes you suggested,
and it worked in my transformation mode - sending XML
with a stylesheet PI to the browser!!

You are right, although it didn't cause any problem, I
did change it to c2 as you suggested.

Yes, that's what was happening. While IE dispalyed the
first table, Mozilla dispalyed the second one. Thanks
for pointing me to the documentation on
attribute-value-templates again. It helped me solve
the problem.

You mean something like Sarissa, right? That's what I
am planning on to do next.

Could you please expand on this one? When I send the
XMl file with stylesheet PI to the browser, and view
the source, I see the XML file. Is there a way to view
the transformation by changing the browser settings?

Yes, planning to download Saxon.

Couldn't agree more :)

I greatly appreciate your help!
