[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: non MS transform
 With sarissa is as simple as this:
var xml = Sarissa.getDomDocument();
xml.async = false
xml.load("cdcatalog.xml")
// Load XSL
var xsl = new Sarissa.getDomDocument();
xsl.async = false
xsl.load("cdcatalog.xsl")
// Transform
var xmlResult = Sarissa.getDomDocument();
xml.transformNodeToObject(xsl, xmlResult);
document.getElementById("some-id").appendChild(document.importNode(xmlResult
.documentElement, true));
It works with IE, FF and at least two other linux browsers, so they told
me...
