that can also be done with

var processor = new XSLTProcessor();
processor.importStylesheet(xslDoc);
Sarissa.updateContentFromURI(uri, target, processor);

Maybe I should add the possibility to pass a stylesheet uri instead of a 
processor ;-)

ah, right. You can use a temporary node and Sarissa.copyChildNodes:



var bookmarkscontent = document.getElementById(target);
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("GET", uri, false);
var newString;
var oDomDoc = Sarissa.getDomDocument();
oDomDoc.async = false;
xmlhttp.send('');
var xslDoc = Sarissa.getDomDocument();
xslDoc.async = false;
xslDoc.load(uritype + ".xsl");
var processor = new XSLTProcessor();
processor.importStylesheet(xslDoc);

// add to a temp node for more processing
var tempNode = document.createElement("div");
Sarissa.updateContentFromNode(xmlhttp.responseXML,tempNode,processor);

// only copy the child nodes to the target
Sarissa.copyChildNodes(tempNode, bookmarkscontent);

you can append to the target or replace it's contents completely, see

hth,
