xslt works in IE 8 but not in FF 3.5, can anyone help?

I have an XML file and I wrote an XSLT to display the data.
When I load the XML file in internet explorer 8 I get precisely what I want to get but when I load it in firefox 3.5.3 I get something quite different.

you can look at the XML file here:

and the XSLT file here:

Does anyone has an idea to what is the problem?

Thanks a lot :)

A HTML row ('tr') element is allowed to contain 'th' and 'td' cell elements yet you are trying to put a complete 'table' in there:

Code:

          <tr>
            <th bgcolor="99CCCC">Statistics</th>
            <table id="stat1tbl" class="stat1">

That is not allowed and that way the browser might guess what you want and correct that, with different browsers guessing and correcting differently.

Thanks a lot for your help, that solved part of the problem and now both tables are presented on ff but the colors are still different (ff doesn't present the colors). any idea why?

Numerical color values are supposed to start with '#' so make sure you have that in front of any value.
