 When the call to the Web service is successful, we need to reformat the response to an easy-to-read table. We first create an ActiveX control:

  var xmldoc=new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0");
We then set the asynchronous mode to false, requesting the XML file loading to finish before continuing on:

  xmldoc.async=false;
We load the XML file:

  xmldoc.loadXML(event.result.value);
We then create another ActiveX control, xsldoc, into which we load the transformation specification stock.xsl:

  var xsldoc=new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0");
  xsldoc.async=false;
  xsldoc.load("./stock.xsl");
We transform the quotes DOMDocument object (xmldoc) with the transformation DOMDocument object (xsldoc), and put the result in the res DIV:

  res.innerHTML=xmldoc.transformNode(xsldoc);
