Like the string trim function, Firefox provides a native implementation for array map, IE doesn't. So we have to create our own map function for Array :
if(typeof Array.prototype.map !== 'function') {

Firefox and Google chrome has native support for the trim function for a String. IE (as of IE 8.0) does not provide a trim function for String. Using the JavaScript Executor , if you execute:
'abcd '.trim
you get:
function trim() { [native code] }
in Firefox and Google Chrome. But you get nothing in IE. If you try to execute the trim method on a String:
'abcd '.trim()
you get this in IE:
TypeError: Object doesn't support this property or...
In order to have the trim function across all browsers, define this function:
if(typeof String.prototype.trim !== 'function') {
...
Or, if you use jQuery, you can use $.trim()

function randomString() {
return '' + n...
Method 2 (generate a random alpha-numerical string):
function randomString(length) {

IE and firefox both support client side XSLT.
This can be done by inserting an xml-stylesheet into the XML file, which would trigger the browser to apply the XSL to the XML document and generate a transformed page:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<?...
Or, it can be done more dynamically with client side JavaScript. However, IE and FF offer different APIs for XSLT. Below is my attempt to bridge the differences. It's been tested to work for IE 7.0, FF 2.0 and Opera 9.0.2.
function XSLT(url) {
var xslt = false;
...
The following HTML page shows how to use it:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="JavaS...
