I am using a simple xml document with a CSS style sheet to create a
webpage but I am unable to create links to specific location on the
same webpage. For this purpose I am using Xpointers. Can somebody help
me with this ?

There are 2 ways to create hyperlinks in an XML document:
(1) Use namespaces, so you can inject HTML code inside your XML document
(2) Use XLink

The first is more intuitive if you're familiar with HTML.
This code is an example of (1) and should help you further:

-----------------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="your_style.css" type="text/css"?>
<ROOT xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html-4.0">
<mytag>This is XML</mytag>
<html:br/>
<html:a href="#bookmark">Link in HTML</html:a>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:br/>
<html:a name="#bookmark">Bookmark goes here</html:a>
</ROOT>

-----------------------------

If you need more functionality than this example, you may find Xlink useful.
