The code fails with the following error:

Value undefined (result of expression xmlDoc.load) is not object.
http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/tryit_view.asp?filename=cdcatalog (line 22)

The Document.load method being called here appears to be part of the  
June 2003 working draft of DOM Level 3 Load and Save Specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-DOM-Level-3-LS-20030619/ 
), but has since been removed from that specification.  Firefox, Opera  
and Internet Explorer appear to implement this method in some form.   
WebKit's lack of support for this method is tracked by <http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9063

If you change your code to load the XML document via a method that  
WebKit does support do you have better luck with processing it via XSL?
