RE: collapsable / expandable tree in XSL

I went through the archive mails on "disable-output-escaping" 
and the majority of posts deal with how to insert html 
abreviations like &lt;,  &apos; instead of < , '. So I tried 
different ways:
    =>  <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> <![CDATA[ 
<div id="CollapseMenu0Block2"> ]]>  </xsl:text> )
    =>  using <xsl:output method="text"/> or  <xsl:output 
method="html"/> at the begining of the stylesheet
    =>  <processing-instruction name="html"> <![CDATA[ <div 
id="CollapseMenu0Block2"> ]]> </processing-instruction>

but the browser still prints the tag instead of generating an 
node tree and processing it 

You would be better off to figure out how to get your output without
using d-o-e.  Undoubtedly it can be done.  The stylesheet has to be
organized so as to create well-formed fragments (that is, complete
elements).  

I have made collapsing trees using javascript and css, using xslt to
create the nested <div> elements, and I did not have to use d-o-e to do
it (my method requires the browser to have a decent DOM, though, so it
only works with recent versons of IE and Mozilla-based browsers).

It seems that you want to create the referenced results but not to use
the referenced javascript libraries.  There is therefore no reason to
rely on outdated html-specific (and probably invalid) notions such as
not closing div elements.
