You mean the body of the HTML document that is produced by your stylesheet.

What does your transformed result (the HTML) look like? The problem is
most likely going to be there.
If you are trying to do everything in IE by loading an XML document that
contains an xml-stylesheet p.i., then "View Source" will only show you the
XML, so you might want to install "Internet Explorer Tools for Validating XML
and Viewing XSLT Output" which, this week, can be found at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/000/543/msdncompositedoc.xml&frame=true
Then you can right-click in the browser window and choose to view the output
of the transformation, rather than the source.
For more help, post a code sample that demonstrates the problem, please.
