some browsers support some types of transforms and some of XSLT. For
example Safari does not support JS transforms (you have to use a PI).
Opera does not support (still...) the document function. Firefox and MS IE
are your best bets if you want to control client-side XSL with JS (i.e.
with something like Sarissa, or dojo).

There is another downside of Sarissa as it uses active-x. In corporate and
government networks you will find it frequently disabled. A better solution
would have been to use a PI and to load the document into iframes. This
way the transformation is not dependent on JS either.
