Kounis,
you have to insert the js snippet in a function and attach the function to whatever 
event you want. baseurl is a variable containing the url pointing to the <map:match 
pattern="foo/bar"> in the cocoon sitemap.

The data flow is as follow: 
1. a browser event triggers the js function
2. the js function send the xml data to the cocoon sitemap
3. the cocoon sitemap process the xml file through a source write transformer
4. the cocoon map returns to the browser a status message (and eventually other 
generated xml)
5. the js function exits

Your mileage may vary, but the principle is this.
