displaying xml with javascript doesn't work in netscape

Hi,

For some reason my xml + xsl isn't showing in netscape (any version). I display the xml with javascript.
Here's the page: http://www.aikikai.be/ssk/stages.htm
Here's the code

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Stagelijst</title>
<link href="StageInfo.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</head>

<body bgcolor="#B8D0DC">
<center>
<b><font color="#CC0000" size="5">Aikido Stage Kalender</font></b>
<p>bijgehouden door <a href="http://www.aikikai.be/ssk" target="_parent">Shu Shin Kan</a></p>

</center>

<div id=XMLStages></div>

<script language="JavaScript">

var xmlDoc;
var xslDoc;
var stagelayer;

xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM');
xmlDoc.async = false;

xslDoc = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM');
xslDoc.async = false;

xmlDoc.load("stages.xml");

xslDoc.load("stagesXSL.xml");

if(document.layers){
//thisbrowser="NN4";
stagelayer = document.layers["XMLStages"];
stagelayer.document.open();
stagelayer.document.write(xmlDoc.documentElement.transformNode(xslDoc));
stagelayer.document.close();
} else if(document.all){
//thisbrowser="ie"
stagelayer = document.all["XMLStages"];
stagelayer.innerHTML = xmlDoc.documentElement.transformNode(xslDoc);
} else if(!document.all && document.getElementById){
//thisbrowser="NN6";
stagelayer = document.getElementById("XMLStages");
stagelayer.innerHTML = xmlDoc.documentElement.transformNode(xslDoc);
}

</script>

</body>
</html>

Thanks for any and all help

Ok, so the reason it's not showing is because Netscape doesn't support ActiveXObject.
So, THE solution is sarissa (http://sarissa.sourceforge.net/).
Netscape still isn't showing anything though.
Here's the script

// get the source document
var oDomDoc = Sarissa.getDomDocument();
oDomDoc.async = false;
oDomDoc.load("stages/stages.xml");

// get the stylesheet document
var oXslDoc = Sarissa.getDomDocument();
oXslDoc.async = false;
oXslDoc.load("stages/stagesXSL.xml");

// transform and store the results to a string
var sResult = oDomDoc.transformNode(oXslDoc);
document.getElementById("XMLStages").innerHTML = sResult;

XMLStages is a layer (DIV)

Hey Mr wizzard, need a little help please. And don't tell me there is no spoon!

I use this bit of script to load an XML doc into Netscape 7+...

Quote:

xmlDoc= document.implementation.createDocument("","doc",null);
xmlDoc.load(XMLfilename + ".xml");
xmlDoc.onload=XML_Loaded //Detect complete loading of XML file (NS only)

This page has a nice little sample for when you need to support both IE and Mozilla...
