Firefox disable-output-escaping workaround in Javascript

[MarkAJAXfan]

Try something like this in your Javascript XSLT routine:

if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") != -1) {
  // fixes most Firefox disable-output-escaping problems:
  document.getElementById(strcontainer).style.visibility = "hidden";
  document.getElementById(strcontainer).appendChild(xslNode);

  var nodetext = document.getElementById(strcontainer).innerHTML;
  if (nodetext.indexOf("XML Parsing Error:") == -1) {
// (note: remove space from first replace char set:)
    nodetext = nodetext.replace(/& amp;/gi, "&");
    nodetext = nodetext.replace(/& lt;/gi, "<");
    nodetext = nodetext.replace(/& gt;/gi, ">");

    aja_fill(strcontainer, nodetext);
  }
  else {
   if (pbshowAlertMsgs) {
      // note, try/catch needed
      throw new aja_alertMsg(pbXSLLibHeader, "Error parsing document");
    }
  }
  document.getElementById(strcontainer).style.visibility = "visible";
  nodetext = null;
}
else {
  document.getElementById(strcontainer).appendChild(xslNode);
}

It's all free. Hope this helps those using Firefox.
