Hi RABi,
1. for use   This will not use the encoding in the html,
but is the encoding for a nbsp and will display in the browser. (or you can
see http://java.oreilly.com/news/javaxslt_0801.html for alternative methods
- ie using <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&nbsp;</xsl:text>)
2. try
<table width="100%">
...
</table>
for the table info in the XSLT
