    The browser can perform the tranform for you. No javascript is needed, just link the .xsl from the .xml like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="site-index.xsl" ?>

    and just serve the xml, no html. Assuming your .xsl contains the right code, along the lines

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" version="4.01" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:output doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"/>
<xsl:output doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"/>
