I am developing a page for Mozilla/IE which reads xml data and when the
link on the page is clicked it displays the data as a table.
The display is controlled by a Javascript. Everything works fine. But
in the table one of the sections is a URL. I want this to be clickable
so that it takes me to the corresponding webpage. I am new to this and
tried hard to fix this but cudnt find my way around. I tried adding an
xsl sheet but still it doesnt seem to fix the problem.
Could anyone help me out. I have pasted the code below
Thanks a lot
