XML table display using CSS

[Pradeep]

When using CSS to display an XML file as a table, is there a way to
show the element names at the tops of the columns as headers?

For Example :
I have a XML file
<ITEMLIST>
<ITEM>
<NAME> Item1 </ITEM>
<PRICE> 500 </PRICE>
<QTY> 10 </QTY>
</ITEM>
<ITEM>
<NAME> Item2 </ITEM>
<PRICE> 600 </PRICE>
<QTY> 20 </QTY>
</ITEM>
<ITEM>
<NAME> Item3 </ITEM>
<PRICE> 700 </PRICE>
<QTY> 25 </QTY>
</ITEM>
<ITEM>
<NAME> Item4 </ITEM>
<PRICE> 900 </PRICE>
<QTY> 90 </QTY>
</ITEM>
</ITEMLIST>

and the output which I want is

Exactly how do you use CSS to display an XML file as a table?

IE has handled a sort of XML a long time, but this is different from
the official W3C methods. If you could extend to IE, then most recent
browsers could handle the XML. However if you wanted support for some
older browsers, you would still have a problem. One might try using
Microsoft conditional comments. If the browser is Microsoft, the
content of a conditional comment would be processed, and it would
contain an IE method for processing XML. If the browser is not
Microsoft, then a path for all other browsers is used. I really do not
have the time and interest in this to examine in detail if the
conditional comment approach would work.

Yes. Ditch CSS and use XSLT instead.
