<span datasrc="#apparel" datafld="APPAREL_TITLE"></span></b>
<br/><br>
<img src="/Images/2px_horz_rule_blue.gif" width="80" height="2"><br><br>
<span datasrc="#apparel" datafld="APPAREL_DESCRIPTION"></span>
<br/>
<span datasrc="#apparel" datafld="APPAREL_SIZE"></span>
<br/>
<span datasrc="#apparel" datafld="APPAREL_PRICE"></span>

You need to start by defining a DOCTYPE (I assume you'll have to go with an XHTML for the XML tags to work) - without specifying one every browser is going to interpret the page code differently. Once you've got your doctype in place then run it through the HTML validator to see if there are any HTML errors.

omg.. that opened a whole can of worms. 15 doctypes later and Im getting nowhere.

I have all kinds of issues here.

Do you have any xml experience? I may need to do this another way.

It only works in IE because the "datasrc" and "datafld" attributes of the <span> tag are Microsoft proprietary IE stuff.
