Mozilla does support that approach if you use transformToFragment, see
   <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xslt/js-interface.html>
Here is an example:
<http://home.arcor.de/martin.honnen/operaBugs/op9/XSLT/transformToFragment1.html>
Opera 9 preview also implements the API Mozilla has but what I have 
tested so far while they have the methods like transformToFragment 
implemented the results might differ from what Mozilla does. But as that 
is only a preview of Opera 9 I am rather sure they improve that before 
version 9 will be released.
IE with MSXML (3 and later) does not implement anything to produce nodes 
with XSLT that could be inserted into a HTML document. Rather with MSXML 
you need to use transformNode to get a string result and then use 
properties (e.g. innerHTML, outerHTML) or methods (e.g. 
insertAdjacentHTML) IE exposes to parse HTML snippets into nodes 
inserted into the HTML document.

You will need to provide more details on your code and on which browser 
gives exactly which error. Post a URL if you have but do some work 
yourself to isolate the problems to simple cases you can't solve.
