I tried the code you sent.. but still I am getting the same output!!

Well I'm not sure why it fails to display. It does fail in IE7 on my machine as well. You're better off using a processor like Saxon to test and run code though. http://saxon.sourceforge.net

I tried with saxon but I am getting an error
  SXXP0003: Error reported by XML parser: The processing instruction target matc
hing
  "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

can you help me with this?

Thanks

As the message says, it comes from the XML parser, and it's telling you that your XML source is not well formed: specifically, it apparently contains the characters <?xml somewhere other than the start of the document. Beyond that, without seeing the source document in error, I can't tell you any more.
