how do i implement css in xsl file? i tried this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="dxsl.css"/>
<xsl:output method="html" />
but it threw the error:
XSLTProcessor::importStylesheet(): Found a top-level element link with null namespace URI
and
Warning: XSLTProcessor::transformToXml(): No stylesheet associated to this object

XSL modifies input into another document. You don't use CSS in an XSL file. You insert it into an (X)HTML file and apply it there.
CSS can be used to display the contents of the XML document in a clear and precise manner. It gives the design and style to whole XML document. Define the style rules for the text elements such as font-size, color, font-weight, etc.
The reason is that CSS is much easier to use, easier to learn, thus easier to maintain and cheaper. There are WYSIWYG editors for CSS and in general there are more tools for CSS than for XSL. But CSS's simplicity means it has its limitations.
XSL is used to refer to a family of languages used to transform and render XML documents. CSS is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Hence XSL and CSS are not the same and not interchangeable.
Your html (link tag) must be inside an xsl:template. The xsl:template must be inside an xsl:stylesheet.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/*//*[1]">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="dxsl.css"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
