hi karthik,
hope this can somewhat clear ur doubts regarding XML Data Islands,
for further clarification VISIT this link
http://www.w3schools.com/Xml/xml_dont.asp
*********************************************************************
internet Explorer - XML Data Islands
What is it? An XML data island is XML data embedded into an HTML page.
Why avoid it? XML Data Islands only works with Internet Explorer browsers.
What to use instead?
You should use JavaScript and XML DOM to parse and display XML in HTML.
