[xsl] XSL transformations with Javascript

Hello ALL,
 
This question is in three parts, fairly unrelated ... all fall under the
but I figured to ask them in one message to not annoy those of you, with
a second message... !
I apologize, its rather difficult to explain these scenarios clearly,
hopefully the basics are there, and someone with experience in the
matter already will pickup on it!
 
1.) I try to display status messages while I am doing transformations,
etc...
For example...
   If I run the following script, the "LOADING..." never gets
displayed...
 
   resultDIV.innerHTML = '<TABLE ALIGN="CENTER" BORDER="0"
HEIGHT="100%"><TR><TD>LOADING...</TD></TR></TABLE>';
   resultDIV.innerHTML = data.transformNode(ss.XMLDocument);
 
   If I place an alert in between these statements, I can see that it
does change, but just before the transformation replaces it with the
transformNode()
      Ultimately I learned that I could call the second statement with a
settimeout() and that would achieve the desired results.  I feel like
this is a bit of a hack, and was hoping someone could explain this in
greater detail, or even explain why!  Does JavaScript run
asynchronously?
 
2.)   Next I decide to replace the boring text with an animated GIF!  I
replaced the first line to be:
      resultDIV.innerHTML = '<TABLE ALIGN="CENTER" BORDER="0"
HEIGHT="100%"><TR><TD><IMG
SRC="images/load_data.gif"></TD></TR></TABLE>';
 
      Problem: the GIF isn't animated.  If I display the graphic on any
page in the <HTML> I have no problems, and the graphic is animated...
but for some reason, if I set the innerHTML of the div, with the
graphic, it remains at the first layer/frame of the .GIF.
     Any ideas on how to make my GIF animated again?
 
3.)  If I place a <script>alert('something here')</script> in my
stylesheet, perform a transformation, the script never gets executed...
is it possible to do this?
 
Thanks for any of your time, help or information!!!
-Matt
