Quoting Didier PH Martin <martind@n...>:

That is a bit missleading. Sarissa is used to
 - parse XML to create DOM objects using the browser's DOM implementation
 - work with elements being browser DOM objects already

A method like selectSingleNode is added to the prototype and not the
instances of the target class (well, unless there is no such prototype
like XMLDocument in Opera).

What is not included? I would be very interested in adding it.

You can load, optionally transform and finally append (and thus render)
a new DOM structure in the current web page with a single line, see
"updateContentFromURI" [1].

Then you would be using your hands to eat a steak, after cutting it to
pieces with a knife and fork.
