diplaying text/image in particular (x,y) coordinate in FO

At first thanks for getting reply of my early request. 
 
I am now facing problem as i have to display all the text or images at there specific position determined by the x,y coordinate. For example, let i have to show the following :
 
Name : Zahidul Islam                           My Image will Shown here
                                                          
Designation : Programmer                                 
 
here 'Name' will be at (x,y) = (200,100), 'Zahidul Islam' will be at (x,y) = (210,100), 'Designation' will be at (x,y) = (200,110), 'Programmer' will be at (x,y) = (215,110) and the image will be at (x,y) = (700,100).
 
So is it possible to place these data at specified position if the coordinates can be found from xml which is translated by xsl, xsl fo to generate the pdf.
 
waiting for reply.

Try an absolutely positioned block container:
   <fo:block-container position="absolute" top="200mm" left="110mm"
    height="10mm" width="30mm">
     <fo:block>Designation: pragrammer</fo:block>
   <fo:block-container>
IIRC the coordinates are counted from the top left of the page, but
you'll surely find this out yourself. You must supply both height
and width to the container.
