Um, no error? What does the DOM Inspector show? Either the XML is there 
or an error occured.

Anyway, what is the type of window._content.document (just use 
alert(window._content.document) and let us know the result)? I'm pretty 
sure you can either set it directly using the DOMParser (as with any 
XMLDocument, if that is what it is) or 
window._content.document.appendChild(window._content.document.importNode(myDoc.documentElement, 
true))
