Why are new tables being created instead of the same one being refreshed in my HTML file?

1. What do I have to do so that when display is clicked the table is refreshed? For now, whenever display is clicked a new table is created underneath the previous one.

2.
When the page loads for the first time I want the whole of the table to be displayed (ie the whole of my XML file(which is linked to an XSL file) underneath the Input fields. How do I do that?

3.
in IE (and not in Firefox) whenever the user clicks on the display button the input section is gone and only the table with the XML content is displayed. How do I get IE to keep the input fields and display the table underneath? Here is a fragment of my code with all the essential parts hopefully... Thank you in advance!

XML

<html>
.........
......
<script type="text/javascript">

function filterTable(f)
{
  ................
  .......
  if (moz)
  {
    ...........
    ....
    var proc = new XSLTProcessor();
    proc.importStylesheet(stylesheet);
    var resultFragment = proc.transformToFragment(xmlDoc, document);
    document.getElementById("target4").appendChild(resultFragment);
  }

  else if (ie)
  {
    .....
    ......
    value.setAttribute("select", "books/scifi" + filter);
    value2.setAttribute("select", sorter);

   document.write(xmlDoc.transformNode(stylesheet));
  }
}

</script>
<form>
  ...........
  ....
  <input type="button" value="Display" onClick="filterTable(this.form)"/>
</form>

<body id="target4">
</body>
</html>
