This sounds like it might be a CSS or browser question, not XML.
Have you asked in the CSS and browser forums?

How is that middle XML file being served?
a) as plain XML formatted with CSS
b) as XML transformed with XSLT in the client (+CSS)
c) transformed to HTML server-side (+CSS)

Obviously XSLT is involved somewhere but you don't say if it server-side
or client-side.

At a guess you are doing the XSLT transformation client-side. This is
very unreliable in most browsers. I don't know of any way to fix it
other than trial and error.
