Microsoft DOM Objects Reference

load()

Syntax

blnValue = objDOMDocument.load(url)

Remark

When you load a DOMDocument, any existing contents in the DOMDocument are discarded.

This is one of the two common ways to load XML into a DOMDocument. In the methods signature, the URL is a string that is the location of an XML file. True or False is returned to indicate success or failure of the load.

See the async property for related information on using this method and an example.
