THANK YOU!!
I told you it was obvious! ;-)
When I issued document.close() the page finished!
And the transformToFragment also worked!

I tried the fragment approach before but lacked knowledge...
//frmBot is the frame name
//display is an <div id="display">
var target = parent.frmBot.document.getElementById("display");
while (target.hasChildNodes())
{ target.removeChild(target.childNodes[0]);
   target.appendChild(xmlNode);
}

If you bother to help me further, can you point me why I failed to get the 
target this way?
Ans also, when the child clean up, performed in the while clause above, is 
needed?

thank you very much!
now I am back to track, with lots of work to do!
