Yes I was shooting in the dark with the adoptNode bit, im not very
familiar with it yet.

Maybe you're unfamiliar with the DOMParser? parseFromString returns a
DOM document. http://www.xulplanet.com/references/objref/DOMParser.html
If I am mistaken in some way, please let me know.

On another note, the replacing the rs function with the following code
works just fine in FF2, but not FF3

function rs(html) {
	$('test').innerHTML = html.split(/<body[^>]*>((?:.|\n)*)<\/body>/i)
[1]; // xmlserializer needs a dom object
	var p = new DOMParser();
	var xs = new XMLSerializer();

	var doc = p.parseFromString(xs.serializeToString($('test')),"text/
xml");

	var alt = $x("//IMG", doc);
	$('text').textContent = alt[0] + ' and ' + alt.length; // result:
undefined and 0
}
