Microsoft DOM Objects Reference

abort()

Syntax

objDOMDocument.abort()

Remark

This method stops the parsing and discards any portion of the XML tree already built. The XMLDOMParseError object then shows that the download was stopped. If the parsing is complete, the current document is not changed.

This could be useful if the processing of a DOMDocument was taking too long or the user hit a cancel button. If you change it to False, you could use this property to stop the document loading.
