How can I use JavaScript to transform XML & XSLT?

Question

I want to use JavaScript to show my XSLT, but on my server nothing is showing up in the browser.

This works in Chrome/Firefox/Edge/IE11

 function loadXMLDoc(filename) {
     if (window.ActiveXObject || "ActiveXObject" in window) {
         xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
     } else {
         xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
     }
     xhttp.open("GET", filename, false);
     xhttp.send("");
     return xhttp.responseXML;
 }


 if (window.ActiveXObject || "ActiveXObject" in window) {
     ie();
 } else {

     xml = loadXMLDoc("input.xml");
     xsl = loadXMLDoc("mmlctop2_0.xsl");

     if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument) {
         xsltProcessor = new XSLTProcessor();
         xsltProcessor.importStylesheet(xsl);
         resultDocument = xsltProcessor.transformToDocument(xml, document);

         var serializer = new XMLSerializer();
         var transformed = serializer.serializeToString(resultDocument.documentElement);

         alert(transformed);
     }
 }

 function ie() {

     var xslt = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XSLTemplate.3.0");
     var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.3.0");
     var xslProc;
     xslDoc.async = false;
     xslDoc.load("mmlctop2_0.xsl");
     if (xslDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
         var myErr = xslDoc.parseError;
         alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
     } else {
         xslt.stylesheet = xslDoc;
         var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
         xmlDoc.async = false;
         xmlDoc.load("input.xml");
         if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
             var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
             alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
         } else {
             xslProc = xslt.createProcessor();
             xslProc.input = xmlDoc;
             xslProc.addParameter("param1", "Hello");
             xslProc.transform();
             alert(xslProc.output);
         }
     }
