write xml to a new window

[Faser]

Using Mozilla, I would like to open a new window and write an
XML string. I would like the XML is properly rendered, but any attempts
failed. The XML is always rendered as text and the page type is always
text/html.

Eg:
ow = window.open("","myWin");
var s = new XMLSerializer();
var str = s.serializeToString(xmlDoc);
//ow.document.open(' text/xml') same result
ow.document.open('content-type: text/xml');
ow.document.write(str);
ow.document.close();

Regardless of anything else, I think that you face a fundamental problem
in that the open, write and close methods are part of the W3C _HTML_
DOM. So if you manage to arrange that the document in the new window is
an XML document you still will never be able to document.write into its
contents.

But he can, of course, use the W3C Core DOM features to
build the document tree. The problem is the value the
XMLSerializer.serializeToString(...) method returns --
a string. DOMParser.parseFromString(..., "text/xml")
returns an XML document, maybe

new DOMParser().parseFromString(
new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(xmlDoc), "text/xml");

is what the OP is looking for. If not, he should explain
what he is trying to achieve, maybe one can find a solution
then.
