I tried this one first but surprisingly it didn't work. So I thought
maybe I had to use RTF to solve the issue, but apparently not! Now I
copied it as you have instructed in your code and it is working fine!
I think I might have had a typo or something in my code the first time
I tried it. but still the RTF version doesn't work and I am not gonna
go through it for now.

Thanks Joe, you are right. there was a typo by the time I copied and
pasted my code to my email but before posting it to the list I had
tested it without any typo and it didn't work. even after you pointed
it out I corrected it again but still no success :(

anyways by now I am gonna leave it as is.

Does anyone know of a good XSL IDE/Editor for Linux? emacs, vi and
even X-based text editors are not good enough to detect the typos.

thanks,
