Using the Mozilla JavaScript interface to XSL Transformations - XSLT: Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations
transforming the document you can use the xsltprocessor.transformtodocument() or xsltprocessor.transformtofragment() methods to transform a document using the imported xslt stylesheet.
...t() takes one argument, the source node to transform, and returns a new document with the results of the transformation: var newdocument = processor.transformtodocument(domtobetransformed); the resultant object depends on the output method of the stylesheet: html - htmldocument xml - xmldocument text - xmldocument with a single root element <transformiix:result> with the text as a child transformtofragment you can also use xsltprocessor.transformtofragment() which will return a documentfragment node.
... xsltprocessor.transformtofragment() takes two arguments: the source document to be transformed (as above) and the document object that will own the fragment (all fragments must be owned by a document).

JavaScript/XSLT Bindings - XSLT: Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations
via xslt - true makes it do a deep clone var mynode = document.getelementbyid("example"); var clonednode = xmlref.importnode(mynode, true); // add the cloned dom into the xml document xmlref.appendchild(clonednode); once the stylesheet has been imported, xsltprocessor has to perform two methods for the actual transformation, namely xsltprocessor.transformtodocument() and xsltprocessor.transformtofragment().
... xsltprocessor.transformtodocument() returns a full xml document while xsltprocessor.transformtofragment() returns a document fragment that can be easily added to an existing document.
...xsltprocessor.transformtofragment() requires a second parameter, namely the document object that will own the generated fragment.
... var parser = new domparser(); var doc = parser.parsefromstring(astr, "text/xml"); figure 3 : performing the transformation var fragment = xsltprocessor.transformtofragment(xmlref, document); ...

ment; filestream.init(somexslfile, -1, 0x01, 0444); // read only // parse from the xslt stylesheet file stream xsldocument = domparser.parsefromstream( filestream, null, filestream.available(), "text/xml"); // import the xslt stylesheet to the xslt processor xsltprocessor.importstylesheet(xsldocument); finally, you can either use nsixsltprocessor.transformtodocument() or nsixsltprocessor.transformtofragment() methods to transform the xml document.
... the nsixsltprocessor.transformtodocument() method returns a dom document with the results of the transformation, whereas, the nsixsltprocessor.transformtofragment() method returns a dom documentfragment node.

xsltprocessor can generate a standalone document using transformtodocument(), or it can create a document fragment using transformtofragment(), which you can easily append into another dom document.
... documentfragment transformtofragment(node source, document owner) transforms the node source by applying the stylesheet imported using the importstylesheet method and generates a documentfragment.

Basic Example - XSLT: Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations
the .xsl file is then imported (xsltprocessor.importstylesheet(xslstylesheet)) and the transformation run (xsltprocessor.transformtofragment(xmldoc, document)).

XSL Transformations in Mozilla FAQ - Web APIs
there is transformtodocument and transformtofragment starting with mozilla 1.2 final, see using the mozilla javascript interface to xsl transformations.

[throws] documentfragment xsltprocessor.transformtofragment(node source, document owner) transforms the node source by applying the stylesheet imported using the xsltprocessor.importstylesheet() function.

Advanced Example - XSLT: Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations
we append xmlref.appendchild(clonednode); // set the sorting parameter in the xsl file var sortval = xsltprocessor.getparameter(null, "myorder"); if (sortval == "" || sortval == "descending") xsltprocessor.setparameter(null, "myorder", "ascending"); else xsltprocessor.setparameter(null, "myorder", "descending"); // initiate the transformation var fragment = xsltprocessor.transformtofragment(xmlref, document); // clear the contents document.getelementbyid("example").innerhtml = ""; mydom = fragment; // add the new content from the transformation document.getelementbyid("example").appendchild(fragment) } // xsl stylesheet: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xm...
