(You are missing the point of the problem here, but ISTM that you have 
gotten it later.)

It is possible, but unlikely, that an XHR response would not contain markup.  
Therefore, one should either parse the returned markup into a document whose 
content can be imported, and appended to a parent element node of a document 
(one wants to create – with document.createDocumentFragment() – use, and 
append a document fragment in case of several nodes to be appended) –

  var doc = (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(…, "text/html");
  ….appendChild(document.importNode(doc.…, true));

– or assign it to the “innerHTML” property of that parent element node.
