Why are you using method="xml" to generate HTML? The entity reference & n b
s p ; isn't even defined in XML, so you are creating output formatted as XML
that isn't legal XML.
Are you running this transformation in the browser?
Why are you declaring the xsl-fo namespace, is it just to confuse your
readers?

Though it doesn't seems to be XSL problem any more. It's
browser problem I think. Since, you have asked for it I'm
writing the reason here.
My Whole AIM was to get an Empty Table With Border around the
Cells. in the Output HTML generated after applying XSL.
Quoted from some Site:
Empty cells in tables often cause problems to HTML authors,
especially since browsers often display such cells without
border even if the other cells have borders. There is an
often-mentioned trick to solve that problem: put into
an empty cell.
Going by above quotation I tried getting in the
output. And I got that using using <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&nbsp;</xsl:text>.
But again another problem pop up because output generated is
Not a well-formed XML as & get inserted in the output. And I
cann't attach More XSL to the output generated.
May be I have to find some alternative solution for the above problem.
Hope I haven't confused you more.
Regards,
Animesh

Thanks Everyone.
As I have already, l had tried " ". But it was not working.
If it isn't working, *something else* is wrong. How are you
transforming? Server side? Show us the source code.
BEcause that iserts white space in the output text. and all
browser are intelligent enough to remove the border incase
there is no text found in TD element.
No, it doesn't.
FYI, stuff that worked for me is:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&nbsp;</xsl:text>
And this inserts in the output.
It does, but only with some XSLT engines in some configurations.
Meaning, it's not portable.
