Also some stylesheet / CSS coding to make it look good while presenting on the browser.

Business card Styling
Style.css

.companyName
{
    font-family: Verdana;
    font-size: 18px;
    color: red;
    display: block;
    padding: 10px;
    margin: 20px;
    background-color: ivory;
    width: 400px;
    border: 5px;
    border-color: gray;
    text-align: left;
}

.Name 
{
    display: block;
    font-weight: bold;
}

.phone 
{
    display: block;
}

.company
{
    display:block;
}

.email
{
    display: block;
    color: Green;
}

For these basic CSS, look at our Cascading Stylesheet Tutorials.

By displaying the contents on the html page we could facilitate the users to add / remove / modify the XML contents. Going forward, we would show you how to do these using some simple DOM properties.
